Ryk Modulates the Niche Activity of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells by Fine-Tuning Canonical Wnt Signaling

Scientists found that Ryk—an atypical Wnt receptor with a pseudokinase domain—had a Wnt-modulating effect in bone marrow stromal cells to control hematopoiesis-supporting activities.

Effect of Simulated Microgravity Conditions of Hindlimb Unloading on Mice Hematopoietic and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a control group and a hindlimb suspension group. After four weeks of hindlimb suspension, scientists found that this simulated microgravity condition increased the percentage of monocytes and macrophages and decreased the percentage of B lymphocytes and mature red cells in bone marrow.

Exosomal Transfer of LCP1 Promotes Osteosarcoma Cell Tumorigenesis and Metastasis by Activating the JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway

When co-culturing osteosarcoma (OS) cells with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro, scientists validated that oncogenic LCP1 in OS was transferred from BMSCs via exosomes.

Inhibition of Circulating miR-194-5p Reverses Osteoporosis through Wnt5a/β-Catenin Signaling-Dependent Induction of Osteogenic Differentiation

Investigators found that aberrant expression of LCP1 could induce the proliferation and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in vitro and in vivo by destabilizing neuregulin receptor degradation protein-1 and subsequently activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
