    Generation of Pulmonary Endothelial Progenitor Cells for Cell-Based Therapy Using Interspecies Mouse-Rat Chimeras

    Single cell RNA sequencing of neonatal human and mouse lung was used to identify the heterogeneity of pulmonary endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing was used to genetically label and purify mouse pulmonary EPCs.

    Small Extracellular Vesicles Containing miR-486-5p Promote Angiogenesis after Myocardial Infarction in Mice and Nonhuman Primates

    Investigators observed improved cardiac function, enhanced vascular density, and smaller infarct size in mice treated with the small extracellular vesicles from hypoxia-preconditioned mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) than in mice treated with normoxia-preconditioned MSCs.

    Abstract

    MIR503HG Loss Promotes Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Vascular Disease

    To study endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in vitro, primary endothelial cells were treated with transforming growth factor-β2 and interleukin-1β. Single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing were performed to investigate the transcriptional architecture of EndMT and identify regulated lncRNAs.

    3D Bioprinting of Prevascularized Implants for the Repair of Critically-Sized Bone Defects

    Investigators developed a bioprinting strategy to engineer prevascularized tissues in vitro and to investigate the capacity of such constructs to enhance the vascularization and regeneration of large bone defects in vivo.

    Quality and Quantity Culture Effectively Restores Functional and Proliferative Capacities of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients

    Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from age-matched control subjects and end-stage renal disease patients, followed by culture in either conventional endothelial progenitor cell culture for one month or in quality and quantity culture for seven days, respectively.

    Xanthorrhizol Suppresses Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Induced Angiogenesis by Modulating Akt/eNOS Signaling and the NF-κB-Dependent Expression of Cell Adhesion Molecules

    Xanthorrhizol inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase and the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin in VEGF-treated HUVECs.

    Abstract

    Psoriatic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stimulate the Angiogenesis of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells In Vitro

    A co-culture model of HUVECs and dermal mesenchymal stem cells were used in this study. After seven-day co-culture, changes in expression levels of VEGF mRNA and protein in HUVECs were assessed using RT-PCR and Western Blotting, respectively.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Cancer Therapy: Insights into Targeting the Tumor Vasculature

    The authors give an overview of recent findings with respect to the promising potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in cancer therapy and had an emphasis on implementing MSCs to improve them against the suppression of angiogenesis in tumor tissue, hence, impeding the tumor progression.
