    Abstract

    Circ_FBLN1 Promotes the Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Regulating Let-7i-5p/FZD4 Axis and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

    The protein levels of osteogenesis-related genes, let-7i-5p, frizzled class receptor 4, Ki67, Wnt6 and β-catenin were measured by western blot assay. The levels of circ_FBLN1, FBLN1 mRNA and FZD4 mRNA were determined by quantitative real-time PCR assay.

    Abstract

    Canine Dental Pulp and Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells as Alternative Sources for Cell Therapy in Dogs

    Aiming for safety and reproducibility of cell therapy in clinical practice by using sources easily obtained that are usually discarded, researchers isolated, characterized, and evaluated the proliferation and colony formation potential of canine dental pulp-derived MSCs and canine umbilical cord tissue.

    Abstract

    Exosomes from Primed MSCs Can Educate Monocytes as a Cellular Therapy for Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome

    Human monocytes were educated by exosomes from lipopolysaccharide-primed MSCs and compared to monocytes educated by unprimed MSCs and uneducated monocytes to assess survival and clinical improvement in a xenogeneic mouse model of acute radiation syndrome.

    Effect of Warm Acupuncture Combined with Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplantation on Cartilage Tissue in Rabbit Knee Osteoarthritis

    After warm acupuncture combined with bone-marrow MSCs, the Modified Lequesne MG knee joint assessment scale was used to evaluate the degree of knee joint behavior, the Taiping Peng method generally observed the histomorphology changes of knee osteoarthritis rabbit cartilage, and hematoxylin-eosin staining, safranin O green staining, and toluidine blue staining were conducted to evaluate the extent of cartilage tissue pathology.
