    Distinct Developmental Pathways from Blood Monocytes Generate Human Lung Macrophage Diversity

    Intravascular cell labeling, cell transplantation, and fate-mapping studies established that classical CD14+ blood monocytes derived from ematopoietic stem and progenitor cells migrated into lung tissue and gave rise to human interstitial and alveolar macrophages.

    Human Umbilical Cord Perivascular Cells Maintain Regenerative Traits following Exposure to Cyclophosphamide

    Investigators evaluated two properties of a novel source of MSCs-first trimester human umbilical cord perivascular cells-that may render them a promising candidate for chemotherapeutic gonadal injury prevention.

    Abstract

    Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells for COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Double-Blind, Phase I/IIa, Randomized Controlled Trial

    Scientists determined the safety and explored efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell infusions in subjects with COVID‐19 scute respiratory distress syndrome. A double‐blind, Phase I/IIa, randomized, controlled trial was performed.

    Umbilical Cord Tissue as a Source of Young Cells for the Derivation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Non-Integrating Episomal Vectors and Feeder-Free Conditions

    The authors demonstrated that umbilical cord tissue-MSCs could be easily isolated without expensive enzymatic treatment or columns and reprogramed well using episomal vectors, which could allow for the removal of the reprogramming factors after a few passages.

    Combined Lentiviral- and RNA-Mediated CRISPR/Cas9 Delivery for Efficient and Traceable Gene Editing in Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

    Researchers developed a combinatorial system using stable lentiviral delivery of single guide RNA followed by transient transfection of Cas9 mRNA by electroporation in human cord blood-derived CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

    Сord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells Ex Vivo Enhance the Bipotential Commitment of Adipose Mesenchymal Stromal Progenitors

    Hematopoietic stem progenitor cells from cord blood were cocultured with growth-arrested adipose mesenchymal stromal cells. Commitment-related transcriptional and secretory profiles as well as hematopoiesis-supportive activity of intact and osteo-induced MSCs were examined.

    Progress and Challenges of Amniotic Fluid Derived Stem Cells in Therapy of Ischemic Heart Disease

    Amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs), a relatively novel source of stem cells, have been exploited for their ability of pluripotent differentiation. In addition, since AFSCs are weakly positive for the major histocompatibility class II molecules, they may have high immune tolerance.
