    Abstract Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a very aggressive neoplasia with a short life expectancy and limited therapeutic options. Thus, the identification of novel molecular targets is a matter of great urgency. Kelch-like (KLHL) proteins play an important role in a number of physiological and pathological cell-regulatory processes. Among this family, the function of KLHL14 is still very poorly characterized.

    Abstract Regenerative medicine harnesses stem cells' capacity to restore damaged tissues and organs. In vitro methods employing specific bioactive molecules, such as growth factors, bio-inductive scaffolds, 3D cultures, co-cultures, and mechanical stimuli, steer stem cells toward the desired differentiation pathways, mimicking their natural development. Chondrogenesis presents a challenge for regenerative medicine. This intricate process involves precise modulation of chondro-related transcription factors and pathways, critical for generating cartilage. Cartilage damage disrupts this process, impeding proper tissue healing due to its unique mechanical and anatomical characteristics. Consequently, the resultant tissue often forms fibrocartilage, which lacks adequate mechanical properties, posing a significant hurdle for effective regeneration. This review comprehensively explores studies showcasing the potential of amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) and amniotic epithelial cells (AECs) in chondrogenic differentiation. These cells exhibit innate characteristics that position them as promising candidates for regenerative medicine. Their capacity to differentiate toward chondrocytes offers a pathway for developing effective regenerative protocols. Understanding and leveraging the innate properties of AMSCs and AECs hold promise in addressing the challenges associated with cartilage repair, potentially offering superior outcomes in tissue regeneration.

    Abstract Amniotic membrane (AM) is considered an important medical device for applications in regenerative medicine. The therapeutic properties of AM are due to its resistant extracellular matrix and to the large number of bioactive molecules released by its cells. To this regard, ovine amniotic epithelial cells (AECs) are a subset of placental stem cells with great regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. Indeed, either oAEC or AM have been object of intense study for regenerative medicine, thanks to several advantages in developing preclinical studies on a high value translational animal model, such as sheep. For this reason, a critical standardization of cultural practices is fundamental in order to maintain, on one hand, AM integrity and structure and, on the other hand, oAEC native properties, thus improving their in vivo therapeutic potential and clinical outcomes.In addition, freshly isolated AECs or AM can be exploited to produce enriched immunomodulatory secretomes that had been used with success into cell-free regenerative medicine procedures.To this aim, here is described an improved oAEC cultural protocol able to preserve their native epithelial phenotype also after the in vitro amplification and an innovative AM in vitro cultural protocol design to prolong the integrity and the biological properties of this tissue in order to collect stable conditioned media enriched with immunomodulatory factors.

    Abstract Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) refers to the ability of cells to dynamically interconvert between epithelial (E) and mesenchymal (M) phenotypes, thus generating an array of hybrid E/M intermediates with mixed E and M features. Recent findings have demonstrated how these hybrid E/M rather than fully M cells play key roles in most of physiological and pathological processes involving EMT. To this regard, the onset of hybrid E/M state coincides with the highest stemness gene expression and is involved in differentiation of either normal and cancer stem cells. Moreover, hybrid E/M cells are responsible for wound healing and create a favorable immunosuppressive environment for tissue regeneration. Nevertheless, hybrid state is responsible of metastatic process and of the increasing of survival, apoptosis and therapy resistance in cancer cells. The present review aims to describe the main features and the emerging concepts regulating EMP and the formation of E/M hybrid intermediates by describing differences and similarities between cancer and normal hybrid stem cells. In particular, the comprehension of hybrid E/M cells biology will surely advance our understanding of their features and how they could be exploited to improve tissue regeneration and repair.

    Abstract The usefulness of nanoparticles (NPs) in the diagnostic and/or therapeutic sector is derived from their aptitude for navigating intra- and extracellular barriers successfully and to be spatiotemporally targeted. In this context, the optimization of NP delivery platforms is technologically related to the exploitation of the mechanisms involved in the NP-cell interaction. This review provides a detailed overview of the available technologies focusing on cell-NP interaction/detection by describing their applications in the fields of cancer and regenerative medicine. Specifically, a literature survey has been performed to analyze the key nanocarrier-impacting elements, such as NP typology and functionalization, the ability to tune cell interaction mechanisms under in vitro and in vivo conditions by framing, and at the same time, the imaging devices supporting NP delivery assessment, and consideration of their specificity and sensitivity. Although the large amount of literature information on the designs and applications of cell membrane-coated NPs has reached the extent at which it could be considered a mature branch of nanomedicine ready to be translated to the clinic, the technology applied to the biomimetic functionalization strategy of the design of NPs for directing cell labelling and intracellular retention appears less advanced. These approaches, if properly scaled up, will present diverse biomedical applications and make a positive impact on human health.

    Abstract The application of biomaterials on immune regenerative strategies to deal with unsolved pathologies is getting attention in the field of tissue engineering. In this context, graphene oxide (GO) has been proposed as an immune-mimetic material largely used for developing stem cell-based regenerative therapies, since it has shown to influence stem cell behavior and modulate their immune response. Similarly, amniotic epithelial stem cells (AECs) are getting an increasing clinical interest as source of stem cells due to their great plasticity and immunomodulatory paracrine activities, even though GO bio-mimetic effects still remain unknown. To this aim, GO-functionalized glass coverslips have been used for AECs culture. The results demonstrated how GO-coating is able to induce and accelerate the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), in a process mediated by the intracellular activation of TGFβ1-SMAD2/3 signaling pathway.

    Abstract Amniotic membrane (AM) is considered an important medical device with many applications in regenerative medicine. The therapeutic properties of AM are due to its resistant extracellular matrix and to the large number of bioactive molecules released by its cells. An important goal that still remains to be achieved is the identification of cultural and preservation protocols able to maintain in time the membrane morphology and the biological properties of its cells. Recently, our research group demonstrated that progesterone (P
