| Neuregulin 1 robustly stimulated proliferation in crypts and induced budding in organoids, in part through elevated and sustained activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and AKT. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| Researchers investigated whether the therapeutic potential of an acellular porous scaffold made of type I collagen could be improved by the addition of a powerful trophic agent in the form of mesenchymal stromal cells conditioned medium in order to be used as an acellular scaffold for skin wound healing treatment. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |

|
|
| The authors demonstrated the potency of the mechanically stimulated osteocyte secretome in driving human bone marrow stem/stromal cell recruitment and differentiation. [Stem Cells Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists designed multifunctional cell therapy microcarriers with the capability of sequential delivery of essential growth factors, bone morphogenetic protein 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors characterized the hematopoietic supporting activity of mesenchymal stromal cells‐derived osteoblast (M‐OST) conditioned media by comparing the secretome of M‐OST to that of their precursor. [Proteomics] |
|
|
|
| Investigators describe a new histological method based on iron hematoxylin combined with Oil red O staining, for the determination of the adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells cultivated on a collagen-based 2D scaffold. [Histochemistry and Cell Biology] |

|
|
| Using genetically modified mouse models, scientists demonstrated that Wnt signaling promoted c-Fos-induced osteosarcoma formation via the actions of the collagen-modifying enzyme Loxl2. [Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists report eight mesenchymal tumors involving the gastrointestinal tract with NTRK1 or NTRK3 rearrangements. [Modern Pathology] |
|
|
|
| Chitosan scaffolds were implanted at the fracture site in a mouse model of intramedullary rod-fixed tibial fracture. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors briefly summarize the development of MSCs as a treatment for human diseases as well as describe the present understanding of exosomes, how they exert their effects on target cells, and how they are differentiated from other extracellular vesicles.

| Following a marathon EU summit in Brussels, national leaders agreed to a €1.8 trillion, seven-year budget and pandemic recovery fund that will spend €81 billion on Horizon Europe, the main EU research program. [Science Insider] |

|
|
| Early data on the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on scientific-publishing output suggest that female researchers, particularly those at early-career stages, are the hardest hit. Submissions to preprint servers, such as arXiv, rose more quickly for male authors than for female authors as nations adopted social-isolation measures. [Nature News] |

|
| Come August, hundreds of universities across the United States are poised to reopen their campuses with a mix of online and in-person courses. Only a handful are aiming for an entirely online semester. But as the machinery of higher education cranks back into action, faculty, staff, and students are voicing concerns that, with COVID-19 cases surging in many parts of the country, employees are being forced to put their health-and the health of others-at unnecessary risk.
