Tissue Engineered Regeneration of Completely Transected Spinal Cord Using Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Scientists evaluated attachment, proliferation, osteogenic gene expression, alkaline phosphatase/DNA, protein/DNA and mineralization of human adipose-derived stem cells cultured in vitro on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and graphite compacts with the same dimension. [Biomaterials] Abstract

The Stimulation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Differentiation and Mineralization by Ordered Rod-Like Fluorapatite Coatings
The effect of ordered rod-like fluorapatite coatings of metal discs on adipose-derived stem cell’s growth, differentiation and mineralization was studied in vitro and their mineral inductive effects in vivo. [Biomaterials] Abstract

Exposure to Supernatants of Macrophages that Phagocytized Dead Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improves Hypoxic Cardiomyocytes Survival
Investigators aimed to observe the impact of supernatants from macrophages that phagocytized dead mesenchymal stem cells on the survival of hypoxic cardiomyocytes. [Int J Cardiol] Abstract

Vitamin D3-Inducible Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Delivery of Conditionally Replicating Adenoviruses Effectively Targets Renal Cell Carcinoma and Inhibits Tumor Growth
Scientists demonstrated the intrinsic tumor homing property of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to specifically localize primary and metastatic renal cell carcinoma tumors after systemic administration in a clinically relevant orthotopic animal model. [Mol Pharm] Abstract

Human Olfactory Mucosa Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Promote Survival, Proliferation and Differentiation of Human Hematopoietic Cells
Researchers investigated whether human olfactory mucosa-mesenchymal stromal cells may promote the survival, proliferation and differentiation of human hematopoietic stem cells. [Stem Cells Dev] Abstract

Three-Dimensional In Vitro Tri-Culture Platform to Investigate Effects of Crosstalk between Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Osteoblasts and Adipocytes
Scientists’ results suggest novel emergent phenotypes for mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and adipocytes in bone marrow that are dependent on and result in part from paracrine interactions with their neighboring cell types. [Tissue Eng Part A] Abstract

Interplay between Local versus Soluble TGF-β and Fibrin Scaffolds: Role of Cells and Impact on Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Chondrogenesis
Researchers described the influence of cell seeding on TGF-β release and compared the molecular path of human mesenchymal stem cell chondrogenic differentiation under soluble versus local TGF-β supply. [Tissue Eng Part A] Abstract

In Vitro and In Vivo Osteogenesis of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Skin, Bone Marrow and Dental Follicle Tissues
This present study evaluated the human mesenchymal stem cells isolated from skin, bone marrow and dental follicle tissues on their in vitro and in vivo osteogenic potential using demineralized bone matrix and fibrin glue scaffold. [Differentiation] Abstract

IU Researchers Join National Network Testing Stem Cell Therapies for Cardiovascular Disease
Physician scientists at the Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine have been selected to join the nationwide Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network and will begin a new round of tests of adult stem cell treatments for peripheral artery disease this summer. [Indiana University] Press Release

Arteriocyte Receives FDA Approval to Initiate Compartment Syndrome Trial for Amputation Prevention Focused on Wounded Warriors
Arteriocyte announced approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial using its Magellan MAR01^TM technology in the treatment of Compartment Syndrome. [Arteriocyte]
