Nanospheres Loaded with Curcumin Improve the Bioactivity of Umbilical Cord Blood-Mesenchymal Stem Cells via c-Src Activation during the Skin Wound Healing Process
Researchers investigated the functional role of a nanosphere loaded with curcumin (CN) in the promotion of the motility of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during the skin wound healing process. They found that transplantation of umbilical cord blood-MSCs pre-treated with CN enhanced wound closure, granulation, and re-epithelialization at mouse skin wound sites.

Allogeneic Cord Blood Transfusions Prevent Fetal Haemoglobin Depletion in Preterm Neonates. Results of the CB-TrIP Study
Investigators monitored fetal haemoglobin levels in 25 preterm neonates until 36 weeks of post‐menstrual age; patients received repeated red blood cell (RBC) units from allogeneic cord blood (cord‐RBCs) or from adult donors, depending on whether cord‐RBCs were available.

Hypoxia-Preconditioned Placenta-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Rescue Optic Nerve Axons via Differential Roles of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in an Optic Nerve Compression Animal Model
Scientists established a hypoxia-preconditioned strain using a hypoxic chamber. The human placenta–derived stem cells were exposed to short-term hypoxic conditions of 2.2% O2 and 5.5% CO2.

Plasma Membrane Vesicles of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Acetaminophen-Induced Damage in HepG2 Cells: A Novel Stem Cell Therapy
PMVs from human umbilical cord (hUC) MSCs were prepared with an improved procedure including a chemical enucleation step followed by a mechanical extrusion. Plasma membrane vesicles of hUCMSCs were characterized and supplemented to hepatocyte cultures.

Proteomic Profiling of Striatal Tissue of a Rat Model of Parkinson’s Disease after Implantation of Collagen-Encapsulated Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Human umbilical cord-MSCs were encapsulated into collagen hydrogels and implanted into the striatum of hemi‐parkinsonian male Sprague Dawley rats. One or 14 days after implantation, the area of interest was dissected using a cryostat.

Human Umbilical Cord Blood–Derived MSCs Exosome Attenuate Myocardial Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis in Acute Myocardial Infarction Mice
Compared with sham or normoxia groups, RT-PCR and western blotting showed that divalent metal transporter 1 expression was significantly increased, and Prussian blue staining, ferrous iro, MDA, and GSH level detection demonstrated that ferroptosis occurred in the infraction myocardium and in cardiomyocyte following hypoxia-induced injury.
