    Opposing Immune and Genetic Mechanisms Shape Oncogenic Programs in Synovial Sarcoma

    Synovial sarcoma (SyS) is an aggressive neoplasm driven by the SS18–SSX fusion, and is characterized by low T cell infiltration. Scientists studied the cancer-immune interplay in SyS using an integrative approach that combined single-cell RNA sequencing , spatial profiling and genetic and pharmacological perturbations.

    Comparative
    Proteomic Analysis of the Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secretome from Adipose, Bone Marrow, Placenta and Wharton’s Jelly

    The authors characterized the protein secretome of adipose, bone marrow, placenta, and Wharton’s jelly-derived human MSCs by using conditioned media and analyzing the secretome by mass spectrometry and follow-up bioinformatics.

    Reprogramming of Epithelial Cell Rests of Malassez into Mesenchymal-Like Cells by Epigenetic Agents

    Researchers examined the roles of 5-Azacytidine and valproic acid in the dedifferentiation of epithelial cell rests of Malassez into stem-like cells. Additionally, the ability of stem-like cells to differentiate into mesenchymal cells was evaluated.

    Extracellular Vesicles from Adipose Derived Stromal Cells Significantly Attenuate In Vitro the Nf-κB Dependent Inflammatory/Catabolic Environment of Osteoarthritis

    Scientists investigated the effects of small extracellular vesicles from adipose derived stromal cells on both chondrocytes and synoviocytes, in order to gain insights into the mechanisms modulating the inflammatory/catabolic osteoarthritis environment.

    Machine Learning for Automated Classification of Human Wharton’s Jelly Cells and Mechanosensory Hair Cells

    Images from previous work, where human Wharton’s Jelly cells were differentiated into mechanosensory hair cells -like cells, were examined. Various cell features were extracted from these images, and those which were pertinent to classification were identified.

    Mechanobiological
    Conditioning of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Enhanced Vascular Regeneration

    By means of high-throughput screening of the combinatorial space of mechanical-strain level and of the presence of particular kinase inhibitors, investigators showed that human mesenchymal stem cells could be mechanically and pharmacologically conditioned to enhance vascular regeneration in vivo.

    Compensation Activates Pro-Survival mTORC1 Signaling upon 3-Phosphoglycerate Dehydrogenase Inhibition in Osteosarcoma

    The rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serine from glucose, 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), was examined, and an inverse correlation between PHGDH expression and relapse-free and overall survival in osteosarcoma patients was found.

    Derived From miR-188-3p -Modified Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Protect Parkinson’s Disease

    Scientists assessed the levels of injury, autophagy and inflammasomes in MPTP-induced Parkinson mice models and neurotoxin MPP+-induced cell models after treating them with miR-188-3p-enriched exosomes.
