In vitro, the hMP TEMGs express mature muscle markers by 21 days. Upon implantation into VML injuries, the hMP TEMGs enable remarkable regeneration. To further promote wound healing and myogenesis, human adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (hASCs) as fibroadipogenic progenitor (FAP)-like cells with the potential to secrete pro-regenerative cytokines are incorporated. The impact of dose and timing of seeding the hASCs on in vitro myogenesis and VML recovery using hMP-hASC TEMGs are investigated. The hASCs increase myogenesis of hMPs when co-cultured at 5% hASCs: 95% hMPs and with delayed seeding. Upon implantation into immunocompromised mice, hMP-hASC TEMGs increase cell survival, collagen IV deposition, and pro-regenerative macrophage recruitment, but result in excessive adipose tissue growth after 28 days.

In a disturbed homeostatic condition, hyperactivation of immune cells takes place and interplay between these cells triggers a plethora of signaling pathways, releasing various pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), Interferon-gamma (IFNƴ), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), which marks cytokine storm formation. To be precise, dysregulated balance can impede or increase susceptibility to various pathogens. Pathogens have the ability to hijack the host immune system by interfering with the host's chromatin architecture for their survival and replication in the host cell. Cytokines, particularly IL-6, Interleukin-17 (IL-17), and Interleukin-23 (IL-23), play a key role in orchestrating innate immune responses and shaping adaptive immunity. Understanding the interplay between immune response and the role of epigenetic modification to maintain immune homeostasis and the structural aspects of IL-6, IL-17, and IL-23 can be illuminating for a novel therapeutic regimen to treat various infectious diseases.
