| Using the sea urchin larva, the authors examined the otopetrin ortholog otop2l, which was exclusively expressed in the calcifying primary mesenchymal cells that generated calcitic larval skeleton. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |

|
| Investigators identified that osteosarcoma cells commonly exhibited high platelet activation-inducing characteristics, and molecules released from activated platelets promoted the invasiveness of osteosarcoma cells. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| A new strategy to modify MSCs to express specific chemokine receptors using mRNA engineering was developed to evaluate the homing ability of MSCs and their therapeutic effects for inflammatory bowel disease. [Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported a series of 35 cases comprising 25 intimal sarcomas (ISA) of the pulmonary artery, one ISA of the renal artery, and nine undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas of the left atrium. [Modern Pathology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role of the GITR-GITRL pathway in mediating the resistance to therapy. They found that GITR and GITRL expressions were higher in the sarcomatoid cell line than in non-sarcomatoid cell lines. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the beneficial effects of exosomes derived from bone marrow MSCs on trabecular meshwork cells under oxidative stress and predicted candidate genes associated with this process. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists presented an integrative analysis of clinical data, cytokines, serum metabolomics in rheumatoid arthritis patients, and mechanistic studies on adenosine deaminase-mediated effects on in vitro cell culture models. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers described 12 BCORL1-altered uterine sarcomas with a striking resemblance to BCOR-altered endometrial stromal sarcoma. [Modern Pathology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists studied the effect of adipose-derived MSCs on obesity-induced multi-organ injuries in a diet-induced obese mouse model. [Tissue Barriers] |
|
|
|
| Investigators evaluated the effects of MSC-extracellular vesicles on chondrocyte proliferation in vitro and on cartilage repair in vivo following bone marrow stimulation of focal chondral defects of the knee. [Cartilage] |
|
|
|
| Researchers revealed the function of bone marrow MSC-derived exosomes in sepsis-induced myocardial injury and the molecular mechanism. [Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize fibroblast development, lineages, functions, and contributions to fibrosis in four fibroblast-rich organs: skin, lung, skeletal muscle, and heart. [Cell] |

|
| EV Biologics Corp. announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Lonza Cell & Gene Therapy for Process Development and Gap Analysis for biomanufacturing of a novel therapeutic composition, comprising extracellular vesicles and particles, as well as other secreted factors derived from selected stem/progenitor cells, such as MSCs.

|
| The California stem cell agency awarded $51 million to help train students in the art of research at the Golden State’s community colleges and universities. [Capitol Weekly] |
