Proteome Analysis During Chondrocyte Differentiation in a New Chondrogenesis Model Using Human Umbilical Cord Stroma Mesenchymal Stem Cells The purpose of the study was to determine which proteins were differentially expressed during chondrogenesis. [Mol Cell Proteomics] Abstract Enrichment of Functionally Distinct Mouse Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Populations Using CD62L The details of the bifurcation of the lymphoid and myeloid lineages following commitment by multipotent progenitor cells remain a topic of controversy. Investigators report that the surface glycoprotein CD62L can be characterized as a novel marker of this and other stages of early hematopoietic differentiation. [J Immunol] Abstract Mesenchymal Stem Cells Inhibit Thymic Reconstitution After Allogeneic Cord Blood Transplantation Researchers analyzed T-cell receptor excision circles, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M levels after cord blood transplantation in 50 patients transplanted at a center. [Stem Cells Dev] Abstract Prospective Study of One- vs Two-Unit Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation Following Reduced Intensity Conditioning in Adults with Hematological Malignancies As the threshold nucleated cell dose for one-unit umbilical cord blood (UCB) in adults has not to date been firmly established, scientists prospectively compared one- vs two-unit UCB transplantation after reduced intensity conditioning in adult patients with hematological malignancies. [Bone Marrow Transplant] Abstract Reduced Intensity Conditioning Stem Cell Transplantation: Comparison of Double Umbilical Cord Blood with Unrelated Donors Researchers performed a retrospective analysis comparing reduced intensity conditioning hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using unrelated donors to double umbilical cord blood. [Biol Blood Marrow Transplant] Abstract Comparison of Unrelated Cord Blood Transplantation and HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Bone Marrow Transplantation for Adults with Leukemia Investigators assessed human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched locus-specific comparison of the outcomes of 351 single unit unrelated cord blood and 1,028 unrelated bone marrow adult recipients 16 years old or older at the time of transplant who received first stem cell transplantation with myeloablative conditioning for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. [Biol Blood Marrow Transplant] Abstract Osteochondral Interface Regeneration of the Rabbit Knee with Macroscopic Gradients of Bioactive Signals Results indicated that there may be regenerative benefits to prelocalizing umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells within scaffold interiors. [J Biomed Mater Res A] Abstract Fusion of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Esophageal Carcinoma Cells Inhibits the Tumorigenicity of Esophageal Carcinoma Cells Researchers investigated the effect of cell fusion of mesenchymal stem cells with esophageal carcinoma cells on tumorigenesis.
