Mayo’s “Smart” Adult Stem Cells Repair Hearts
Mayo Clinic investigators, with Belgian collaborators, have demonstrated that rationally “guided” human adult stem cells can effectively heal, repair and regenerate damaged heart tissue.

Mesenchymal and Hematopoietic Stem Cells Form a Unique Bone Marrow Niche
Here researchers demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells, identified using nestin expression, constitute an essential hematopoietic stem cells niche component. [Nature]
Guided Cardiopoiesis Enhances Therapeutic Benefit of Bone Marrow Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Chronic Myocardial Infarction
The goal of this study was to guide bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells into a cardiac progenitor phenotype and assess therapeutic benefit in chronic myocardial infarction. [J Am Coll Cardiol]
Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Cells and MMP13 Contribute to Experimental Choroidal Neovascularization
In this study, investigators evaluated the potential involvement of collagenase-3 (MMP13), a matrix metalloproteinase family member, in the exudative form of age-related macular degeneration characterized by a neovascularisation into the choroid. [Cell Mol Life Sci]
Down-Regulation of Thrombomodulin, a Novel Target of Snail, Induces Tumorigenesis Through Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The expression of thrombomodulin (TM), a calcium-dependent adhesion molecule, is frequently down-regulated in various cancer types. However, the mechanism responsible for the low expression level of TM in tumorigenesis is unknown. Here, an inverse expression of TM and Snail was detected in different cancer cell lines. [Mol Cell Biol]
Ultraviolet A Regulates Adipogenic Differentiation of Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Via Upregulation of Kruppel-Like Factor 2
This study shows that ultraviolet A inhibits adipogenic differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells and its action mechanisms. [J Biol Chem]
Effects of Microgravity Modeled by Large Gradient High Magnetic Field on the Osteogenic Initiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
In the present study, scientists used large gradient high magnetic field (LGHMF) produced by a superconducting magnet to model microgravity (LGHMF-MG) and analyzed the effects of LGHMF-MG on survival, cytoskeleton and osteogenic potential of human mesenchymal stem cells. [Stem Cell Rev]
Isolation of Cancer Stem Cells from Transformed Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Line F6
In the present study, scientists isolated cancer stem cells from F6 cells based on CD133 expression using flow cytometry and investigated the biological characteristics of CD133+ F6 cells. [J Mol Med]
Culture and Differentiation of Osteoblasts on Coral Scaffold from Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells
In this paper investigators described an approach that aims to provide fundamental information towards a scientific, biomechanical basis for the use of natural coral scaffolds to initiate mesenchymal stem cells into osteogenic differentiation for transplant purposes. [Cell Tissue Bank]
