    Inflammatory Responses in the Placenta upon SARS-CoV-2 Infection Late in Pregnancy

    The effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on placental function is not well understood. Analysis of placentas from women who tested positive at delivery showed SARS-CoV-2 genomic and subgenomic RNA in 22 out of 52 placentas.

    Suppressive Effects of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal miR-15a-5p on the Progression of Cholangiocarcinoma by Inhibiting CHEK1 Expression

    Researchers identified the suppressing roles of exosomal miR-15a-5p from umbilical cord MSCs in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma.

    Protective Effects of CHIP Overexpression and Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal-Derived Stem Cell Treatment against Streptozotocin-Induced Neurotoxicity in Rats

    Western blotting observed that carboxyl terminus of heat shock protein 70 interacting protein (CHIP)-overexpressing Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs could rescue nerve damage observed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats by activating the AMPKα/AKT and PGC1α/SIRT1 signaling pathway.

    Abstract

    Simulated Confined Placental Mosaicism Proportion (SCPMP) Based on Cell-Free Fetal DNA Fraction Enrichment Can Reduce False-Positive Results in Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing

    The authors attempted to decrease the false-positive rate of non-invasive prenatal testing using cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) fraction enrichment and the SCPMP mosaicism proportion threshold application via cffDNA quantification.
    [Prenatal Diagnosis]

    Abstract

    Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a Potential Therapy for Schistosomal Hepatic Fibrosis: An Experimental Study

    Researchers assessed the effect of human umbilical cord blood MSCs transplantation on schistosomal hepatic fibrosis in mice.
    [Pathogens and Global Health]

    Abstract

    Adoptive NK Cell Transfer as a Potential Treatment Paradigm for Wilms Tumor: A Preclinical Study

    Natural killer (NK) cells were isolated from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and human cord blood, and were expanded and activated using a cytokine cocktail.
