[Scientific Reports] Scientists investigated whether clinically relevant concentrations of lidocaine and ropivacaine affect synovial MSC proliferation and differentiation.

[Adipocyte] Researchers physically induced the differentiation of rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells into β-like cells using the cell-imprinting technique.

[Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine] Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were used to treat cirrhosis, ranging from end-stage to early stages, in methionine-deficient rats by modulating the Wnt pathway.

[Immunological Investigations] Researchers investigated the role of bone marrow MSC-Exos in acute lung injury through the regulation of macrophage polarization.

[Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine] Investigators evaluate the therapeutic effects of MSCs on Alzheimer's disease patients through a review of clinical trial literature.

[Gut] Investigators identified SMYD2, SET and MYND domain Containing 2 (SMYD2) as a critical regulator of signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (STAT1) and investigated the mechanistic basis of SMYD2-mediated post-translational modifications in modulating STAT1 function during hepatic ischaemia/reperfusion.
