    Intracerebroventricular Injection of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease Dementia: A Phase I Clinical Trial

    Researchers conducted a Phase I clinical trial in nine patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease dementia to evaluate the safety and dose-limiting toxicity of three repeated intracerebroventricular injections of human umbilical cord blood–derived MSCs.

    Extracellular Vesicles Derived from CD73 Modified Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Inflammation after Spinal Cord Injury

    Scientists constructed CD73 modified extracellular vesicles and explored the anti-inflammatory effects after spinal cord injury. CD73 engineered extracellular vesicles were derived from human umbilical cord MSCs transduced by lentiviral vectors to upregulate the expression of CD73.

    Abstract

    The Chondrogenic Potential of First-Trimester and Term Placental Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells

    MSCs were isolated from first-trimester and term placentae. Bone marrow-MSCs were commercially obtained. Chondrogenesis was induced by micromass culture in commercial chondrogenic media for 7, 14, or 21 days.

    Abstract

    Long-Term Stability, High Strength, and 3D Printable Alginate Hydrogel for Cartilage Tissue Engineering Application

    Researchers developed a double crosslinked alginate hydrogel for 3D bioprinting, and human umbilical cord MSCs could differentiate into chondrocytes on its printed 3D scaffold after four weeks’ culture.

    Abstract

    Effects of Single and Multiple Transplantations of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells on the Recovery of Ovarian Function in the Treatment of Premature Ovarian Failure in Mice

    Scientists compared the effect of single and multiple injections of human umbilical cord blood-MSCs on ovarian function repair in chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure.

    Clinical Features, Pathophysiology and Therapy of Poor Graft Function Post Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

    The pathophysiology of poor graft function can be conceptualized as dysfunction related to the number or productivity of the stem cell compartment, defects in bone marrow microenvironment components such as mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells, or immunological suppression of post allogeneic stem cell transplant hematopoiesis.
