|
| The authors provided evidence that, upon their activation, platelets transfer respiratory-competent mitochondria to MSCs primarily via dynamin-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis. [Cell Metabolism] |

|
|
| Researchers revealed that even under physiological conditions, MSCs produced and released a low level of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), unexpectedly required for preserving the self-renewal and differentiation of MSCs via autocrine/paracrine signaling. [Bone Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists highlighted the dynamics of mesenchymal cells in the airway niche and implications for chronic airway-injury-associated diseases. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that a single day of TGF-β1 exposure was sufficient to trigger bone marrow-derived MSC chondrogenic differentiation and tissue formation, similar to 21 days of TGF-β1 exposure. [Communications Biology] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers report that deleting Kindlin-2 in osteoblastic cells using the mouse 10-kb Dmp1-Cre largely neutralized the intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated increasing of bone volume fraction and bone mineral density by impairing both osteoblast and osteoclast formation in murine adult bone. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
| | Scientists found that Lgr5, a receptor for Rspo and a potent mediator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, marks a subset of activated satellite cells that contribute to muscle regeneration. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors clarified whether long noncoding RNA Cancer-Associated Transcript-1 could regulate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that Hsp90 inhibitors geldanamycin and its analog 17-DMAG increased degradation of the alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma driver oncoprotein PAX3-FOXO1 and induced the repressive epigenetic mark H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 at genomic loci of PAX3-FOXO1 targets. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role of miR-199a-5p in T helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation and determined whether extracellular vesicles derived from miR-199a-5p-modified adipose-derived MSCs could relieve immune thrombocytopenia by inhibiting Th17 differentiation. [Laboratory Investigation] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors outline the role of LOX-1 in tumor spreading and metastasis, evidencing its function in VEGF induction, HIF-1alpha activation, and MMP-9/MMP-2 expression, pushing up the neoangiogenic and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in glioblastoma, osteosarcoma, prostate, colon, breast, lung, and pancreatic tumors. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss recent findings on the roles of cellular metabolism in determining skeletal stem cell fate, coordinating osteoblast and chondrocyte function, and organizing stromal support of hematopoiesis. [Nature Metabolism] |

|
| IMAC Holdings, Inc. has completed the first infusion of its investigational compound utilizing umbilical cord-derived allogenic MSCs in its Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of bradykinesia, or the gradual slowing and loss of spontaneous body movement, due to Parkinson’s disease.
