|
| Researchers report that transamniotic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy for neural tube defects during early development may achieve beneficial functional recovery. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers utilized cell sorting and immunohistochemistry to identify a phenotypically-distinct, osteogenically-committed bone marrow stromal cell subset in human osteoarthritis trabecular bone. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that PPARβ/δ deficiency forced MSC metabolic adaptation increasing their glycolytic activity required for their immunoregulatory functions on Th1 and Th17 cells. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| | Investigators report that the cardioprotective properties of intravenously injected MSCs in a mouse model of pressure-overload heart failure largely depend on circulating adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted factor. [Molecular Therapy] |

|
| Scientists evaluated the antimicrobial activity and therapeutic effect of local treatment with antibiotic-loaded adipose-derived stem cells plus an antibiotic in a rat implant-associated infection model. [Scientific Reports] |
