    HTLV-1 Targets Human Placental Trophoblasts in Seropositive Pregnant Women

    Investigators found that human T cell leukemia virus type 1 proviral DNA was present in the placental villous tissues of the fetuses of nearly half of pregnant carriers and in a small number of cord blood samples.

    Blood DNA Methylome in Newborns Later Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder Reflects Early Dysregulation of Neurodevelopmental and X-linked Genes

    Scientists performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of 152 umbilical cord blood samples from the MARBLES and EARLI high-familial risk prospective cohorts to identify an epigenomic signature of autism spectrum disorder at birth.

    Amnion-Derived
    Multipotent Progenitor Cells Suppress Experimental Optic Neuritis and Myelitis

    Researchers tested the hypothesis that systemic amnion–derived multipotent progenitor (AMP) cell administration could suppress both optic neuritis and myelitis in amnion epithelial cells (EAE). Intravenous and intraperitoneal administration of AMP cells significantly reduced ascending paralysis and attenuated visual dysfunction in EAE mice.

    Administration of Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: Preliminary Outcomes in Four Vietnamese Infants

    Umbilical cord-MSC culture was conducted under xeno- and serum-free conditions. Four patients with established bronchopulmonary dysplasia were enrolled in this study between May 25, 2018, and December 31, 2018.

    Mediates Tropism of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells toward CD133+/CD44+ Colon Cancer Stem Cells

    Scientists compared the effects of three tissue‐derived MSCs in vivo on colon tumor xenograft growth. Then, they analyzed the tropism of bone marrow‐derived MSCs toward normal intestinal epithelial cells, parental colon cancer cells, CD133/CD44, and CD133+/CD44+ colon cancer cells in vitro.

    Obesity is Associated with Phenotypic Alterations in Fetal Immune Cells by Single‐Cell Mass Cytometry

    Using cord blood mononuclear cells and cord plasma isolated from infants born to women with a high BMI compared to women with a normal BMI, the authors evaluated differences in immune cell populations using single‐cell mass cytometry.

    Lysate Induces Chondrogenic Differentiation of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Regulating the lncRNA H19/miR-29b-3p/SOX9 Axis

    Platelet lysate (PL) had been shown to induce chondrogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord‐derived MSCs Scientists investigated whether long non‐coding RNA H19 was involved in this process. Human umbilical cord MSCs were isolated, identified, and cultured in 5% PL‐supplemented chondrogenic differentiation medium.
