    Human Skeletal Muscle CD90+ Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors Are Associated with Muscle Degeneration in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

    The authors showed that skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients exhibited degenerative remodeling of the ECM that was associated with a selective increase of a subpopulation of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) marked by expression of THY1 (CD90)—the FAPCD90+.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Mitigate Oxidative Stress-Induced Senescence in Endothelial Cells via Regulation of miR-146a/Src

    In vitro results showed that MSC-small extracellular vesicles reduced senescent biomarkers, decreased senescence-associated secretory phenotype, rescued angiogenesis, migration and other dysfunctions in senescent endothelial cell induced by oxidative stress.

    Abstract

    Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Offer an Immune-Privileged Niche to Cutibacterium acnes in Case of Implant-Associated Osteomyelitis

    Researchers examined MSCs/Cutibacterium acnes interaction and analyzed the subsequent MSCs and bacteria’s behaviors. Infected MSCs increased the secretion of prostaglandin E2 and indolamine 2,3 dioxygenase immunomodulatory mediators.

    Abstract

    Differential Activation of CaCa2+ Influx Channels Modulate Stem Cell Potency, Their Proliferation/Viability and Tissue Regeneration

    Investigators showed that store-dependent Ca2+ entry was essential for modulating the function of bone marrow-derived MSCs.

    Metabolomics and Cytokine Profiling of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Identify Markers Predictive of T Cell Suppression

    The authors provided a platform for identifying markers for predicting MSC functional capacity using partial least squares regression modeling that could be used as release criteria and guide future manufacturing strategies for mesenchymal stromal cells and other cell therapies.

    Abstract

    Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived Exosomes Inhibit the Growth of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells via Regulating miR-23b-5p/TRIM14 Pathway

    TRIM14 promoted the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells via activating PI3K/AKT pathway, which was reversed by human MSC-derived exosomes through delivering miR-23b-5p.

    Bone Marrow Derived Stromal Cells from Myelodysplastic Syndromes Are Altered but Not Clonally Mutated In Vivo

    By exome sequencing of in vitro expanded mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from 98 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 28 healthy controls, researchers showed that these cells accumulated recurrent mutations in genes such as ZFX, RANK, and others.

    Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal miR-34c-5p Ameliorates Renal Interstitial Fibrosis by Inhibiting the Core Fucosylation of Multiple Proteins

    The authors revealed that MSC-derived exosomes resided specifically in the injured kidney and delivered miRNA-34c-5p to reduce cellular activation and renal interstitial fibrosis by inhibiting core fucosylation.
