    Adaptations in Hippo-Yap Signaling and Myofibroblast Fate Underlie Scar-Free Ear Appendage Wound Healing in Spiny Mice

    Investigators found that following traumatic injury to ear pinnae, myofibroblasts appeared rapidly in both Acomys and mouse yet persisted only in mouse.

    Resveratrol Reverses Osteogenic Decline of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Upregulation of YAP Expression in Inflammatory Environment

    Investigators found that tumor necrosis factor-α could upregulate inflammatory cytokines, Il-6, Mmp-9, and Il-1β, and establish an inflammatory environment.

    Abstract

    Growth and Mineralization of Osteoblasts from Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Microporous Membranes: Epithelial-Like Growth with Transmembrane Resistance and pH Gradient

    MSCs were characterized by flow cytometry with more than 90% CD44 and 75% Sca-1 labeling. Mineralization was validated with paracellular alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen birefringence, and mineral deposition confirming MSCs identity.

    PTEN Regulates Proliferation and Osteogenesis of Dental Pulp Cells and Adipogenesis of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

    Genetic variant was identified with exome sequencing. The human dental pulp cells isolated from a patient with Cowden syndrome were investigated for their proliferation, osteogenesis, adipogenesis, and gene expression compared with controls.

    Abstract

    Comparing the Renoprotective Effects of BM-MSCs versus BM-MSC-Exosomes, When Combined with an Anti-Fibrotic Drug, in Hypertensive Mice

    Scientists determined whether serelaxin (RLX) could enhance the therapeutic efficacy of bone-marrow-derived- mesecnymal stem cell-exosomes (BM-MSC-EXO), and compared the renoprotective effects of RLX and BM-MSC-EXO versus RLX and BM-MSCs in mice with hypertensive chronic kidney disease.

    Hop2 Interacts with the Transcription Factor CEBPα and Suppresses Adipocyte Differentiation

    These in vitro data suggest that Hop2 inhibited adipogenesis by suppressing CEBP-mediated transactivation. Consistent with a negative role for Hop2 in adipogenesis, ablation of Hop2 in mice led to increased body weight, adipose volume, adipocyte size, and adipogenic marker gene expression.
