| 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.

|
| 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. [International Journal of Molecular Sciences] |

|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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. [PLoS One] |

|
|
| 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.

|
|
| 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. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids] |
|
|
|
| The authors suggested that micro-heterogeneity takes part in the fate decision of a mesenchymal cell population involved in the pathogenesis of a genetic disease. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified nine miRNAs significantly dysregulated in IFN-γ-primed MSCs, but presented at different levels in their derived small extracellular vesicles. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors evaluated the efficacy of stem cells in maxillary bone regeneration for implant rehabilitation and to review the different techniques for obtaining and processing these cells. [International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health] |

|
|
| Scientists investigate and introduce adenosine-producing MSCs as a potential target for cancer treatment. [Clinical and Experimental Medicine] |

|
| Immunicum AB announced that it has received Orphan Drug Designation from the US FDA for the Company’s lead candidate, ilixadencel, a cell-based, off-the-shelf immune primer, for the treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma. The designation recognizes results from the Phase I/II clinical trial in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors, a rare and difficult-to treat cancer indication belonging to the group of cancers referred to as Soft Tissue Sarcoma.
