| Scientists produced allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-engineered Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells through TCR engineering of human cord blood CD34+ HSC and differentiation of these HSCs into iNKT cells in an ex vivo HSC-Derived iNKT Cell Culture. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs infusions improved systemic metabolic homeostasis and alleviated insulin resistance in epididymal adipose tissue but elicited no change in weight. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
|
| To distinguish responses related to viral infection vs. recognition, the authors evaluated cotyledons perfused with either active or inactivated Zika virus (ZIKV). [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers grew human Wharton’s jelly MSCs (hWJ-MSCs) on a striped micropattern containing spider silk protein from Argiope appensa, aiming to direct hWJ-MSCs chondrogenesis using micropattern made of spidroin bioink as opposed to fibronectin that was often used as the gold standard.

|
|
| PCR, bulk RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence for renalase and its binding partners, PMCA4b and PZP, were performed on human placental tissue from second-trimester and full-term placentas separated into decidua, placental villi and chorionic plates. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists observed tumor formation in NOD SCID mice after a single subcutaneous injection of human umbilical cord-MSCs and the effect of these cells on tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that AXL was a critical targetable driver of immune suppression in STK11/LKB1 mutant non-small cell lung cancer. [Cell Reports Medicine] |

|
| The author covers recent developments in our understanding of the risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy, and how vaccination can reduce these. [Nature Reviews Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, extracellular matrix components, and metabolic products were all found to be functional molecules of MSCs in various therapeutic paradigms. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
