Mesenchymal Cell News is a weekly email newsletter covering topics such as the isolation, identification, and culturing conditions of mesenchymal stem cells, as well as their cellular characterization, behavior and differentiation capacities. We also include research that focuses on identifying tissue sources of mesenchymal stem cells and their potential therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine and cellular therapies.

Bio-Instructive Hydrogel Expands the Paracrine Potency of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Scientists introduced a customizable collagen I-hyaluronic acid (COL-HA)-based hydrogel platform for the encapsulation of MSCs. Cells encapsulated within COL-HA showed a significant expansion of their secretory profile compared to MSCs cultured in standard (2D) cell culture dishes or encapsulated in other hydrogels.

Apoptotic Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Support Osteoclastogenesis While Inhibiting Multinucleated Giant Cells Formation In Vitro

Scientists focused on the communication from MSCs towards osteoclasts-like cells in vitro. MSCs seeded on a calcium-phosphate biomaterial or undergoing induced apoptosis produced a conditioned media favoring the development of osteoclasts from human CD14+ monocytes.
