| Investigators generated rats with medium-grade sepsis with a 30–40% survival rate to study the curative effects of amniotic fluid-MSCs and umbilical cord-MSCs. MSCs reversed cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced changes in proinflammatory cytokine levels and coagulation activation. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Two kinds of Wharton’s jelly-MSCs were applied to evaluate their chondrogenic potential in vitro through inducing chondrogenic differentiation as the first step of the strategy, one from newborns with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and the other from normal newborns but treated with excessive cortisol during differentiation to simulate the excessive maternal glucocorticoid in the IUGR newborns.

|
|
| Scientists evaluated the effect of the conditioned medium secreted by human Wharton’s jelly MSCs on the proliferation and apoptosis gene expression of the retinal pigmented epithelium. [Experimental Eye Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers compared the characteristics of canine adipose tissue and umbilical cord matrix MSCs. For the first time in the dog, the cellular bioenergetics were investigated by evaluating the two main metabolic pathways of ATP production. [PLoS One] |

|
|
| Fetal membranes and umbilical cord blood were collected from healthy non‐laboring cesarean deliveries at term. Fetal membranes were culture in Transwell® frames to mimic the barrier function between choriodecidual and amniotic sides. [American Journal of Reproductive Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Homing of human umbilical cord-MSCs was detected by fluorescence microscopy and examination of immunostained sections for human CD105 and CD34 were performed. [Annals of Anatomy-Anatomischer Anzeiger] |
|
|
|
| Scientists tested the effects of Piper betle L. from Vietnam on fibroblasts and umbilical cord (UC)-derived mesenchymal stem cells from human UC on the scratch assay. [Heliyon] |
| |

|
|
| Compared with immediate umbilical cord clamping, delayed umbilical cord clamping, umbilical cord milking were associated with reductions in intraventricular hemorrhage and need for packed red cell transfusion. [JAMA Pediatrics] |

|
| Skin aging is a process that occurs naturally but can be worsened by environmental pollution, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and undernourishment. MSCs have healing capacities that can be applied in damaged and aged skin. [International Journal of Molecular Sciences] |

| Scientists around the world are scrambling to secure basic supplies in the wake of the COVID‑19 pandemic, which has increased demand for testing materials while disrupting manufacturing and distribution channels. [Nature News] |

| The Schulich School of Engineering, under Dr. Michael Kallos, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, and director of the Biomedical Engineering Calgary Initiative, has been developing technologies to safely and reproducibly grow stem cells- whether they be skin cells, neural cells, or cells in any other part of the body.
