    Pulmonary and Neurologic Effects of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Extracellular Vesicles in a Multifactorial Lung Injury Model

    Researchers investigated whether a multifactorial neonatal mouse model of lung injury perturbed neural progenitor cell function and assessed the ability of human umbilical cord-derived MSC extracellular vesicles to mitigate pulmonary and neurologic injury.

    Stem Cell Differentiation with Consistent Lineage Commitment Induced by a Flash of Ultrafast-Laser Activation In Vitro and In Vivo

    The authors reported a non-invasive all-optical strategy to induce stem cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo that activated individual target stem cells in situ by delivering a transient 100-ms irradiation of a tightly focused femtosecond laser to a submicron cytoplasmic region of primary adipose-derived stem cells.

    Bilayered Extracellular Matrix Derived Scaffolds with Anisotropic Pore Architecture Guide Tissue Organization during Osteochondral Defect Repair

    Investigators used in vitro and in vivo assays to demonstrate that articular cartilage and bone ECM derived scaffolds could preferentially direct the differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) towards either a chondrogenic or osteogenic lineage, respectively.

    Inhibition of Proinflammatory Signaling Impairs Fibrosis of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

    Scientists showed that bone marrow-derived MSCs contributed to fibrosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms by differentiating into αSMA-positive myofibroblasts.

    Hexon Modification of Human Adenovirus Type 5 Vectors Enables Efficient Transduction of Human Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

    Researchers tested the hypothesis that introducing positively charged amino acids into Hexon might have enhanced the transduction of human MSCs, enabling efficient expression of selected transgenes.

    Reprogramming Bone Progenitor Identity and Potency through Control of Collagen Density and Oxygen Tension

    Engineered 3D tuneable biomimetic scaffolds were used to control the cell microenvironment of adipose-derived MSCs, which exhibited a collagen density-specific profile for early and late stage bone cell lineage status.

    Small Extracellular Vesicles from iPSC-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Tendinopathy Pain by Inhibiting Mast Cell Activation

    Investigators explored the effect of small extracellular vesicles from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs on acute pain and investigated the underlying mechanisms.

    CCL7 and TGF-β Secreted by MSCs Play Opposite Roles in Regulating CRC Metastasis in a KLF5/CXCL5 Dependent Manner

    The authors extracted and identified primary MSCs and verified the promoting effects of tumor-associated MSCs on colorectal cancer proliferation and metastasis in vivo and in vitro.

    Curcumin Primed ADMSCs Derived Small Extracellular Vesicle Exert Enhanced Protective Effects on Osteoarthritis by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Chondrocyte Apoptosis

    Scientists found that curcumin primed adipose tissue-derived MSCs-derived small extracellular vesicles (ADMSCs-sEVs) exhibited an enhanced protective effect compared with free curcumin and ADMSCs-sEV in TBHP-induced chondrocytes.

    Morpholino-Driven Blockade of Dkk-1 in Osteosarcoma Inhibits Bone Damage and Tumor Expansion by Multiple Mechanisms

    The authors indicated that administration of morpholino with or without chemotherapeutics could substantially improve osteosarcoma (OS) outcomes with respect to tumor expansion and osteolytic corruption of bone in an experimental OS model.

    The Inability of Ex Vivo Expanded Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells to Survive in Newborn Mice and to Induce Transplantation Tolerance

    Since MSCs have been shown to have low immunogenicity and often survive in allogeneic recipients, researchers attempted to use these cells for induction of transplantation tolerance.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells Protect against Acetaminophen Hepatotoxicity by Secreting Regenerative Cytokine Hepatocyte Growth Factor

    MSCs were comparable to N-acetylcysteine against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver failure by secreting hepatocyte growth factor with less regenerative retardation concerns, thus facilitating the application of MSCs in clinical therapy for APAP liver failure.

    ACE2 Overexpressing Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviates COVID-19 Lung Injury by Inhibiting Pyroptosis

    Compared to using MSCs or rh-ACE2 alone, the administration of ACE2-MSCs much more significantly reduced inflammatory factors and pyroptosis factors and alleviated lung injury in vivo and in vitro, which may have been due to the increased activities of secretory ACE2.

    Exploiting LRRC15 as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Cancer

    The authors focus on the role of leucine-rich repeat-containing protein (LRRC15) in cancer, including clinical trials involving LRRC15-targeted therapies, such as the ABBV-085 ADC for patients with LRRC15-positive tumors.
