| Scientists demonstrated that Lepr+ MSCs surrounding intestinal crypts sensed diet change and provided a novel niche signal to maintain intestinal stem cell and progenitor cell proliferation. [Cell Research] |

|
|
| Investigators identified the role of p75 signaling pathway in coordinating skeletal cell migration during early bone repair. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that extracellular vesicles derived from aged bone matrix during bone resorption favored bone marrow MSC adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis and augmented calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that the RNA-binding protein Musashi2 regulated bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs) lineage commitment and found that its expression was downregulated during adipogenic differentiation and upregulated during osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. [Bone Research] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified novel therapeutic targets for uterine leiomyosarcoma based on transcriptome analysis and assessed the preclinical efficacy of novel drug candidates. [Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists presented two series of fibrous and porous hydrogels and used them as substrates to study the mechanoresponses of bone marrow MSCs to stiffness and fibrous structure. [Biomacromolecules] |
|
|
|
| The authors revealed the mechanism responsible for the dilated endoplasmic reticulum that is a hallmark characteristic of osteosarcomas and identified a highly conserved molecular signature for this genetically unstable tumor. [iScience] |
| |
|
|
| Signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation increased migration and profibrotic signaling in genome-edited, pericyte-like cells. Conversely, blocking Stat3 inhibited detachment, migration, and profibrotic signaling. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| In a wound healing mouse model, the histological evaluation of wound tissue in PBS, bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs), and ascorbic acid 2-glucoside-treated BMSCs group were investigated. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs infusions improved systemic metabolic homeostasis and alleviated insulin resistance in epididymal adipose tissue but elicited no change in weight. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| MiR-155-inhibitor-loaded MSC-derived exosomes showed synergistic effects in keratinocyte migration, restoration of FGF-7 levels, and anti-inflammatory action, leading to accelerated wound healing mediated by negative regulation of miR-155. [Molecular Pharmaceutics] |
|
|
|
| Proliferation capability, osteogenic lineage commitment, senescence-associated secreted phenotype and circadian oscillation of clock genes under osteogenic condition were assessed in bone marrow MSCs from young adult and aged adult mice. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that the expression of the c-Myc oncogene was negatively correlated with T cell infiltration rate in osteosarcoma (OS). Pharmacological inhibition of c-Myc with JQ-1 significantly reduced tumor burden and improved overall survival in an immunocompetent syngeneic murine model of OS. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
|
| Growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, extracellular matrix components, and metabolic products were all found to be functional molecules of MSCs in various therapeutic paradigms. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Scientists explored the general characteristics of MSC as delivery tools for cancer therapeutic agents and discuss the potential of oncolytic viruses as immune therapeutics. [Molecular Therapy-Oncolytics] |

|
| Ossium Health, Inc. announced that the US FDA has accepted its Investigational New Drug application for OSSM-001, an MSC product, for the treatment of refractory perianal fistulas in patients with Crohn’s disease. [Ossium Health, Inc. (Business Wire, Inc.)] |
