    Abstract Adipose tissue is a highly attractive reservoir of stem cells due to its accessibility and abundance, and the SVF within it holds great promise for stem cell-based therapies. The use of mechanical methods for SVF isolation from adipose tissue is preferred over enzymatic methods, as it can be readily applied in clinical settings without additional processing steps. However, there is a lack of consensus on the optimal approach for mechanically isolating SVF. This comprehensive review aims to present and compare the latest mechanical isolation methods for SVF from adipose tissue, including centrifugation, filtration/washing, emulsification, vibration, and mincing/adiponizing. Each of these methods possesses unique advantages and limitations, and yet, no conclusive evidence has emerged demonstrating the superiority of one approach over the others, primarily due to the dearth of well-controlled prospective studies in this field.

    Abstract Chronic inflammation of adipose tissue is a prominent characteristic of many metabolic diseases. Lipid metabolism in adipose tissue is consistently dysregulated during inflammation, which is characterized by substantial infiltration by proinflammatory cells and high cytokine concentrations. Adipose tissue inflammation is caused by a variety of endogenous factors, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, cellular senescence, ceramides biosynthesis and mediators of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) signaling. Additionally, the gut microbiota also plays a crucial role in regulating adipose tissue inflammation. Essentially, adipose tissue inflammation arises from an imbalance in adipocyte metabolism and the regulation of immune cells. Specific inflammatory signals, including nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling, inflammasome signaling and inflammation-mediated autophagy, have been shown to be involved in the metabolic regulation. The pathogenesis of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic inflammation (obesity, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]) and recent research regarding potential therapeutic targets for these conditions are also discussed in this review.

    Abstract Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are a critical adult stem cell subpopulation and are widely utilized in the fields of regenerative medicine and stem cell research due to their abundance, ease of harvest, and low immunogenicity. ASCs, which are homologous with skin by nature, can treat immune-related skin diseases by promoting skin regeneration and conferring immunosuppressive effects, with the latter being the most important therapeutic mechanism. ASCs regulate the immune response by direct cell-cell communication with immune cells, such as T cells, macrophages, and B cells. In addition to cell-cell interactions, ASCs modulate the immune response indirectly by secreting cytokines, interleukins, growth factors, and extracellular vesicles. The immunomodulatory effects of ASCs have been exploited to treat many immune-related skin diseases with good therapeutic outcomes. This article reviews the mechanisms underlying the immunomodulatory effects of ASCs, as well as progress in research on immune-related skin diseases.

    Abstract Obesity is a chronic disease that affects the energy balance of the whole body. In addition to increasing fat mass, tissue fibrosis occurred in white adipose tissue in obese condition. Fibrosis is the over-activation of fibroblasts leading to excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix, which could be caused by various factors, including the status of adipocytes. The morphology of adipocytes responds rapidly and dynamically to nutrient fluctuations. Adaptive hypertrophy of normal adipocytes protects peripheral organs from damage from lipotoxicity. However, the biological behavior of hypertrophic adipocytes in chronic obesity is abnormally altered. Adipocytes lead to fibrotic remodeling of the extracellular matrix by inducing unresolved chronic inflammation, persistent hypoxia, and increasing myofibroblast numbers. Moreover, adipocyte-induced fibrosis not only restricts the flexible expansion and contraction of adipose tissue but also initiates the development of various diseases through cellular autonomic and paracrine effects. Regarding anti-fibrotic therapy, dysregulated intracellular signaling and epigenetic changes represent potential candidate targets. Thus, modulation of adipocytes may provide potential therapeutic avenues for reversing pathological fibrosis in adipose tissue and achieving the anti-obesity purpose.

    Abstract Wrinkled and loose skin resulting from collagen degradation along with fibers decreasing reflects the youth diminishing. Microneedles (MNs) have opened up new avenues for the development of painless and noninvasive transdermal drug delivery systems for facial rejuvenation. Encapsulated drugs or molecules are transmitted to targeted tissues via percutaneous microchannels, which eliminate potential gastric stimulation or first-pass metabolic effects, as well as boost patient compliance. Although MNs are considered effective and feasible therapeutic alternatives to metals, silicon, and polymers, traditional procedures with reduction processes continue to encounter methodological limitations. In recent years, promising additive manufacturing processes such as three-dimensional printing and two-photon polymerization manufacturing have been developed with the aim of overcoming the limitations by traditional processes to facilitate an efficient and economic production mode. This review summarizes the design, material selection, and manufacturing method for recently advanced MN systems. Furthermore, we also highlight specific polymeric or natural microneedle products, like hyaluronan, plant derivates, and vitamins, for esthetic applications in this review. Impact Statement In this review, the materials and manufactural routes of microneedles (MNs) are detailed. Moreover, similar to the diagnostic or therapeutic MNs, the feature of dispensation with training and ready-to-use is perfect for beautification and anti-aging, which necessitate repeated and long-term usage. Furthermore, the specific polymeric or natural products for esthetic applications of MNs are highlighted in this review.

    Abstract Haplotype blocks greatly assist association-based mapping of casual candidate genes by significantly reducing genotyping effort. The gene haplotype could be used to evaluate variants of affected traits captured from the gene region. While there is a rising interest in gene haplotypes, much of the corresponding analysis was carried out manually. CandiHap allows rapid and robust haplotype analysis and candidate identification preselection of candidate causal single-nucleotide polymorphisms and InDels from Sanger or next-generation sequencing data. Investigators can use CandiHap to specify a gene or linkage sites based on genome-wide association studies and explore favorable haplotypes of candidate genes for target traits. CandiHap can be run on computers with Windows, Mac, or UNIX platforms in a graphical user interface or command line, and applied to any species, such as plant, animal, and microbial.

    Abstract Porosity is one of the most important indicators used for hydrocarbon reservoir evaluation and extraction. However, obtain accurate formation porosity measurements in gas-filled boreholes can be challenging, this is because gas cannot slow down neutrons as effectively as water due to its lower hydrogen index, which results in measurement sensitivity reduction and consequently impacts the obtained porosity. One way to address this issue is loading water into the borehole which is commonly referred to as water loading. However, this process significantly increases operational time and cost, as well as shielding perforated gas zones. Therefore, a new strategy is proposed to improve the sensitivity of porosity measurement in gas or air-filled boreholes without the need for water loading. The key to this strategy is to incorporate a sleeve design outside the tool to enhance its performance in gas-filled intervals. The sleeve is composed of a downhole applicable material whose neutron slowing down ability is close to water. The optimized deployment orientation of the sleeve could then be determined through simulation. In this work, three potential sleeve materials are identified and compared based on an existing neutron porosity tool. The impacts of different tool-sleeve-borehole orientations are analyzed to determine the most effective design strategy. A series of test pit experiments is conducted to validate the feasibility of the design.

    Abstract Vegetation-soil systems vary spatially across sandy and rocky islands due to the complex interaction of natural and anthropogenic factors. Revealing the spatial responses of vegetation-soil system to these factors is important for island conservation and the understanding of island ecology. An island chain in China, which is characterized by the coexistence of sandy and rocky islands connected by bridges, was selected for the study. The vegetation-soil system was represented using the vegetation health index (VHI), soil health index (SHI), and vegetation-soil system health index (VSSHI). A total of 20 factors were identified in aspects of island basic factors (e.g., area, shape, and isolation), landscape pattern (i.e., composition and configuration), terrain condition (e.g., altitude, slope, and distance to the shoreline), and ecological indices (vegetation, salinity, heat, humidity, and aridity indices). The spatial responses were analyzed at the island (10 islands) and site (111 sites) scales. The results indicated that the vegetation-soil system presented distinctly better conditions on the rocky islands than on the sandy island. The spatial responses showed similar and different characteristics across the dual scales. The similarity was represented by the higher sensitivities of VHI and VSSHI than that of SHI at the two scales, and the difference mainly lay in the decrease in the influences of landscape pattern along the scales from island to site. The factors related to macro aspects (i.e., island area, sea reclamation scale, land use intensity, and vegetation coverage) were the main influencing factors at the island scale. Islands with small area and sea reclamation scale, low land use intensity, and high vegetation coverage presented a high VSSHI. The detailed land surface characteristics that refer to the factors in micro aspects, including aridity degree, soil salinity, vegetation quality, and altitude, became the main influencing factors at the site scale. The VSSHI generally decreased and increased with the increase in the former and latter two factors, respectively. Across different types of islands, anthropogenic activities dominated the vegetation-soil system on the sandy island through intensive sea reclamation and land uses, and natural and anthropogenic factors jointly determined the system on the rocky islands.
