    Oxidative
    Stress-Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction Facilitates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Senescence in Ankylosing Spondylitis

    Researchers found that ankylosing spondylitis (AS) serum facilitated senescence of MSCs in vitro, and articular tissues from AS patients exhibited higher expression levels of the cell cycle arrest-related proteins p53, p21 and p16.

    Parylene-N Films As Chemical Microenvironments for Differentiation and Spheroid Formation of Osteoblast Cells

    The influence of parylene N film on the spheroid formation of osteoblast-like cells was determined and compared with that of high-hydrophilicity microenvironments. The formation of spheroids and regulation of differentiation in human mesenchymal stem cells on parylene N film was demonstrated.

    Fibrous Electrospun Scaffolds Reinforced with Copper Doped Wollastonite for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications

    The synthesized polycaprolactone/metal ion-wollastonite scaffold was biocompatible to mouse mesenchymal stem cells and enhanced the mRNA expression of osteoblastic specific marker genes including alkaline phosphatase and type I collagen and major transcription factor Runx2 in the presence of osteogenic medium indicates the osteoconductive nature of the scaffolds.

    Contained in Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promotes Lung Cancer Progression by Regulating the FOXO3/NFE2L2/TXNRD1 Axis

    Extracellular vesicles were isolated from transfected or untransfected mesenchymal stem cells, and were used to treat lung cancer with/without inhibitor, mimic, overexpression plasmid or shRNAs. CCK-8 assay, colony formation, transwell assay and flow cytometry were carried out to determine biological functioning of lung cancer cells.
