Application


  • The preconditioning of lithium promotes mesenchymal stem cell-based therapy for the degenerated intervertebral disc via upregulating cellular ROS: This study explores the use of lithium chloride in enhancing the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells for intervertebral disc regeneration. Lithium chloride′s role in modulating cellular responses and oxidative stress mechanisms presents a potential application in developing advanced IVD (In Vitro Diagnostics) products that rely on cellular technologies (Zhu et al., 2021).

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) undergoes post-translational modification, including O- and N-glycosylation, ubiquitination, and phosphorylation as it traffics through the secretory pathway. We have previously reported that copper promotes a change in the cellular localization of APP. We now report that
