    Mapping the Immune Microenvironment for Mandibular Alveolar Bone Homeostasis at Single-Cell Resolution

    Alveolar bone monocytes/macrophages expressed a higher level of oncostatin M compared to long bone, which promoted osteogenic differentiation and inhibited adipogenic differentiation of MSCs.

    3D Mesenchymal Cell Migration Is Driven by Anterior Cellular Contraction That Generates an Extracellular Matrix Prestrain

    The authors describe a cellular contractile mechanism employed by fibroblasts and mesenchymal cancer cells to migrate in 3D collagen gels.

    Gap Junction‐Mediated Cell‐Cell Interaction between Transplanted Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Vascular Endothelium in Stroke

    Scientists investigated cell‐cell interaction between MSCs and cerebral endothelial cells. In contrast to bone marrow mononuclear cells, for MSCs they observed suppression of vascular endothelial growth factor uptake into endothelial cells and transfer of glucose from endothelial cells to MSC in vitro.

    Abstract

    MSC-Like Cells Increase Ability of Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells to Polarize IL-17/IL-10- Producing T-Cells via CTLA-4

    The effects of mesenchymal stromal cell-like cells on the in vitro differentiation of human monocytes into dendritic cells were investigated.

    The Importance of Cellular and Exosomal miRNAs in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Osteoblastic Differentiation

    The importance of MSC miRNAs in modulation of osteoblastic differentiation was examined by global reduction of miRNA biosynthesis in Dicer knock down hMSCs.

    Down Regulation of SUV39H1 and CITED2 Exerts Additive Effect on Promoting Adipogenic Commitment of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Through a siRNA-based high throughput screen that identified adipogenic regulators whose expression knockdown led to enhanced adipogenic differentiation of human MSCs, two new regulators, SUV39H1, a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes H3K9Me3, and CITED2, a CBP/p300 interacting transactivator with Glu/Asp rich carboxy-terminal domain 2 were uncovered.

    Abstract

    Polo Like Kinase 4 (PLK4) Impairs Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell (BMSC) Viability and Osteogenic Differentiation

    Researchers identified the aberrant PLK4 upregulation in osteoporosis and downregulation in BMSCs during osteogenic differentiation. In isolated human BMSCs (hBMSCs), PLK4 overexpression significantly inhibited, whereas PLK4 knockdown promoted cell viability and hBMSC osteogenic differentiation.

    Abstract

    Improved Healing of Critical-Size Femoral Defect in Osteoporosis Rat Models Using 3D Elastin/Polycaprolactone/nHA Scaffold in Combination with Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Elastin/polycaprolactone/nHA nanofibrous scaffold in combination with mesenchymal stem cells were used to regenerate bone defects. Cytotoxicity, cytocompatibility and cellular morphology were evaluated in vitro and observations revealed that an appropriate environment for cellular attachment, growth, migration, and proliferation is provided by this scaffold.

    Bone Marrow NG2+/Nestin+ Mesenchymal Stem Cells Drive DTC Dormancy via TGF-β2

    Researchers revealed that periarteriolar bone marrow-resident NG2+/Nestin+ MSCs could instruct breast cancer disseminated tumor cells to enter dormancy.

    Abstract

    3D Bioprinting of Prevascularized Implants for the Repair of Critically-Sized Bone Defects

    Investigators developed a bioprinting strategy to engineer prevascularized tissues in vitro and to investigate the capacity of such constructs to enhance the vascularization and regeneration of large bone defects in vivo.

    Bone Marrow Stromal Cells from MDS and AML Patients Show Increased Adipogenic Potential with Reduced Delta-Like-1 Expression

    Researchers established a stringent flow cytometric protocol for the prospective isolation of a CD73+ CD105+ CD271+ bone marrow (BM) stromal cell subpopulation from uncultivated cryopreserved BM of myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia patients as well as age-matched healthy donors.
