| Scientists investigated the role of LIN28a in cartilage physiology and in osteoarthritis (OA). Lin28a-inducible conditional cartilage deletion up-regulated Mmp13 in intact mice and exacerbated the cartilage destruction in OA mice. [Science Advances] |

|
| The activation of mTOR could promote cell entry into S phase, thereby enhancing DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. [Bone Research] |
|
|
|
| An autocrine loop was postulated where the neoplastic cells would be stimulated through CSF1R expressed on their surface. The authors used single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate cellular interactions in tenosynovial giant cell tumor. [Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the association between cyclin-dependent protein kinase 7 (CDK7) and glucose-regulated protein 78-kDa (GRP78) in osteosarcoma. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| The authors explored the role and molecular mechanisms of quercetin on the protective effect of bone marrow-derived MSCs under oxidative stress in vitro. [Journal of Molecular Endocrinology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators evaluated miR-659-3p and SRPK1 function in osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression in vitro by using gain- and loss-of-function strategies. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Scientists fabricated polyacrylamide hydrogels with gradient stiffness to unravel the role of matrix stiffness in chondrogenic process of MSCs, with or without TGF-β3 as induction factor. [Journal of Molecular Histology] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers described the embryonic origin of appendicular Hic1+ mesenchymal progenitors and demonstrated that they arose in the hypaxial somite, and migrated into the developing limb at embryonic day 11.5, well after limb bud initiation. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated a strong correlation between TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and osteoarthritis (OA), evidenced by the significantly downregulated expression of TBK1 in cartilage tissue samples of OA patients and in the chondrocytes of aged mice. [Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] |
|
|
|
|
| The best source of MSCs seems to be the umbilical cord due to the easiness of extraction, the noninvasive method of collection, their higher expansion ability, and more powerful immune-modulating properties compared to other locations in the body. [Regenerative Therapy] |

|
|
| Longeveron, Inc. announced that the European Patent Office has issued a notice of its intent to grant the company a patent related to methods to treat endothelial dysfunction and monitor the efficacy of allogeneic mesenchymal cell therapies, also known as medicinal signaling cells.
