Large-Scale Analysis of MicroRNA Expression in Motor Neuron-Like Cells Derived from Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells

[Scientific Reports] Human CB-MSCs were isolated and characterized using flow cytometry. Cell differentiation has been induced by combining retinoic acid and sonic hedgehog in a two-step protocol for 14 days.

Human Placental Development and Function

[Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology] Scientists examine current knowledge of early human placental development, discuss the critical role of the maternal endometrium and of the fetal-maternal dialogue in pregnancy success, and they explore the latest models of trophoblast and endometrial stem cells.

Essent Biologics Launches Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Regenerative Medicine, Biopharmaceutical and Cell Therapy Research

[Essent Biologics™ (PR NewsWire, Inc.)] Essent Biologics™ announced the launch of its human mesenchymal stem cells for regenerative medicine, biopharmaceutical and cell therapy research.

H3K27me3 Conditions Chemotolerance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

[Nature Genetics] By monitoring epigenomes, transcriptomes and lineages with single-cell resolution, scientists showed that the repressive histone mark trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) regulated cell fate at the onset of chemotherapy.

Progesterone Activates GPR126 to Promote Breast Cancer Development via the Gi Pathway

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Scientists identified a membrane receptor for progesterone/17-hydroxyprogesterone and delineated the mechanisms by which GPR126 participated in potential tumor progression in TNBC.

LINC00355 Regulates p27KIP Expression by Binding to MENIN to Induce Proliferation in Late-Stage Relapse Breast Cancer

[npj Breast Cancer] Researchers identified 1127 lncRNAs differentially expressed in late-stage relapse (LSR) breast cancer (BC) via transcriptome sequencing and analysis of 72 early-stage and 24 LSR BC patient tumors.

Arginine Ingestion Inhibits Phagocyte Invasion in Eccentrically Contracted Rat Fast-Twitch Muscle

[Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility] Scientists investigated whether prior ingestion of L-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, inhibited eccentric contraction-induced macrophage invasion.

KLF13 Promotes VSMCs Phenotypic Dedifferentiation by Directly Binding to the SM22α Promoter

[Journal of Cellular Physiology] The authors investigated the relationship between KLF13 and SM22α expression in normal and atherosclerotic plaques by bioanalysis, and observed a significant increase in KLF13 levels in the atherosclerotic plaques of both human patients and ApoE−/− mice.

Mitochondrial CypD Acetylation Promotes Endothelial Dysfunction and Hypertension

[Circulation Research] Researchers studied cyclophilin D (CypD) acetylation in patients with essential hypertension, defined a pathogenic role of CypD acetylation in deacetylation mimetic CypD-K166R mutant mice and endothelial-specific general control of amino acid synthesis 5 like 1–deficient mice using an angiotensin II model of hypertension.
