Regulatory Role of Apelin Receptor Signaling in Migration and Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Mesoderm Cells and Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells

[Human Cell] The authors elucidated the role of Aplnr signaling during mesoderm cell migration and differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells.

Loss of β-Catenin Causes Cementum Hypoplasia by Hampering Cementogenic Differentiation of Axin2-Expressing Cells

[Journal Of Periodontal Research] The authors evaluated the effects of β-catenin deletion in Axin2+ cells on cementogenesis. They generated triple transgenic mice to conditionally delete β-catenin in Axin2-lineage cells by crossing Axin2CreERT2/+; R26RtdTomato/+ mice with β-cateninflox/flox mice.

Stemedica Initiating Phase IIb/III Clinical Trial for Patients with Chronic Ischemic Stroke

[Stemedica Cell Technologies] Stemedica Cell Technologies announced that it has initiated its “Phase IIb/III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study To Assess The Efficacy, Safety, And Tolerability Of A Single Intravenous Injection Of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells To Subjects With Ischemic Stroke”” under an existing US IND using its ischemic tolerant MSC product.

Comprehensive Overview of MicroRNA Function in Rheumatoid Arthritis

[Bone Research] Investigators comprehensively review the deregulated miRNAs and impaired cellular functions in RA to shed light on several aspects of rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis, with a focus on excessive inflammation, synovial hyperplasia and progressive joint damage.

Using Patient-Derived Organoids to Predict Locally Advanced or Metastatic Lung Cancer Tumor Response: A Real-World Study

[Cell Reports Medicine] Researchers generated 214 cancer organoids from 107 patients, of which 212 are lung cancer organoids , primarily derived from malignant serous effusions.

USP7 Inactivation Suppresses APC-Mutant Intestinal Hyperproliferation and Tumor Development

[Stem Cell Reports] Scientists showed in vivo that deletion of Usp7 in Apc-truncated mice inhibits crypt hyperproliferation and intestinal tumor development.

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.
