| In the liver, ductal cells rarely proliferate during homeostasis but do so transiently after tissue injury. Using organoid co-cultures that recapitulated the ductal-to-mesenchymal cell architecture of the portal tract, researchers demonstrated that a subpopulation of mouse periportal mesenchymal cells exerted dual control on proliferation of the epithelium.

| The authors analyzed hypoxia impact on human and pig bone marrow-derived MSCs and mouse myoblast proliferation, differentiation, and fusion. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Researchers compared the biological and functional characteristics of naïve MLpvNG2 cells with identical bone marrow-derived MSCs using in vitro and in vivo procedures. [Stem Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists generated an induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) line from bone marrow-MSCs employing a non-integrating episomal vector. The generated iPSCs expressed pluripotency markers, showed a normal karyotype, and exhibited the potential for in vitro differentiation into three germ layers. [Stem Cell Research] |

|
| Investigators determined the ratio of patients whose synovial MSCs were transplanted clinically, to intensively investigate MSCs with trisomy 7 from a safety perspective, and to follow up the patients for five years after transplantation. [Stem Cells Translational Medicine] |

|
| To determine the function of umbilical cord blood (UCB)-MSCs, scientists examined and compared the therapeutic effects of UCB-MSCs and UCB-MSC-derived exosomes on skin healing in rats. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Researchers evaluated intratracheal MSCs as an approach to treat an hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia animal model and compared the therapeutic effects between amniotic fluid-, umbilical cord- and bone marrow-MSCs. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |

|
| A qPCR analytical method with matrix effect was developed to track the biodistribution of human mesenchymal stem cells in normal and Con A induced liver injury mice. [Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics] |

|
|
| Investigators developed a Phase IIb, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous administration of allogeneic adipose tissue-derived MSCs in patients with acute ischaemic stroke, concurrently with conventional stroke treatment.

|
| Scientists summarize findings to advocate the reactivation of tumor suppressors p53 and PTEN in glioblastoma treatment and use MSCs as a “Trojan horse” to carry oncolytic viral cargo to disseminated tumor beds. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |
| | The authors describe the basic characteristics and biological functions of menstrual blood-derived MSCs-derived small extracellular vesicles. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

| Imugene Ltd and Celularity Inc. announced they have entered into a research collaboration in 2021. Imugene and Celularity will initially collaborate to develop the combination of Imugene’s CD19 oncolytic virus technology and Celularity’s CD19 targeting allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cellular therapy, CYCART-19, for the treatment of solid tumors.
