    iPSC-Derived Neoantigen-Specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Therapy for Ewing Sarcoma

    Investigators examined the antitumor effects of EWS/FLI1-rejuvenated CTLs against Ewing sarcoma. The altered amino acid sequence at the break/fusion point of EWS/FLI1, when presented as a neoantigen, evokes an immune response that targets EWS/FLI1+ sarcoma.

    Abstract

    Mesenchymal Stem Cell and Endothelial Progenitor Cells Coinjection Improves LPS-Induced Lung Injury via Tie2 Activation and Downregulation of the TLR4/MyD88 Pathway

    Coinjections of endothelial progenitor cells + MSCs significantly enhanced the survival rate of lipopolysaccharide-induced mice, decreased concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increased the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine.

    Abstract

    Zeb2/Axin2-Enriched BMSC-Derived Exosomes Promote Post-Stroke Functional Recovery by Enhancing Neurogenesis and Neural Plasticity

    After stimulation with Zeb2/Axin2-enriched bone marrow MSC (BMSC) exosomes, the spatial memory and nerve function of MCAO rats showed marked recovery. The number of neurons was increased in the subventricular zone, hippocampus, and cortex area, while the expression of nerve growth factors was upregulated.
