|
|
| Researchers assessed the efficacy and safety of MultiStem when administered within 18 to 36 hours of ischemic stroke onset via the Treatment Evaluation of Acute Stroke Using Regenerative Cells (TREASURE) multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled Phase II/III randomized clinical trial. [JAMA Neurology] |

|
|
| Investigators established a cocktail of tissue-specific DNA methylation markers and used it to determine the concentration of circulating cell-free DNA molecules derived from the liver, skin, lungs, colon, and specific immune cells in 101 patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation] |

|
|
| Researchers investigated the potential of bone marrow-derived MSCs modified with X inactive specific transcript (XIST) lentiviral vector to modulate macrophage polarization and affect neural stem cell microenvironment reconstruction following spinal cord injury. [Journal Of Tissue Engineering] |
|
|
|
| Investigators conducted a thorough examination of essential stability attributes including vector titer, transduction efficiency, and potency for a series of clinical grade vector lots, each assessed at a minimum of 36 months following their date of manufacture.

|
| Scientists explored the potential role of adipose-derived stem cells and the potential mechanism associated with neutrophil extracellular traps in relieving acne vulgaris. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| By transplanting midbrain organoid cells into the striatum region of a 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned Parkinson’s disease mouse model, researchers found that the transplanted cells survived and highly efficiently differentiated into dopaminergic neurons. [Heliyon] |
|
|
|
| Scientists evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant clinical grade MSCs obtained from four different sources on allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells. [Heliyon] |

|
| Compared to stem cells, stem cell-derived exosomes possess numerous advantages, such as non-immunogenicity, non-infusion toxicity, easy access, effortless preservation, and freedom from tumorigenic potential and ethical issues. [Signal Transduction And Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss the major process parameters of autologous CAR-T cell manufacturing, as well as regulatory considerations and ongoing developments that will enable the next generation of CAR-T cell therapies. [Journal Of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors provide an updated understanding of NK cell development, functions, and their applications in disease therapy. They explored the rationale for utilizing engineered NK cell therapies, such as CAR-NK cells, and discuss the differences between CAR-T and CAR-NK cells. [Cell Death & Disease] |
