    Lepr+ Mesenchymal Cells Sense Diet to Modulate Intestinal Stem/Progenitor Cells via Leptin–Igf1 Axis

    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.

    Aged Bone Matrix-Derived Extracellular Vesicles as a Messenger for Calcification Paradox

    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.

    The RNA-Binding Protein Musashi2 Governs Osteoblast-Adipocyte Lineage Commitment by Suppressing PPARγ Signaling

    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.

    Aberrant Activation of Cell Cycle-Related Kinases and the Potential Therapeutic Impact of PLK1 or CHEK1 Inhibition in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma

    Investigators identified novel therapeutic targets for uterine leiomyosarcoma based on transcriptome analysis and assessed the preclinical efficacy of novel drug candidates.

    Abstract

    Fibrous Structure and Stiffness of Designer Protein Hydrogels Synergize to Regulate Endothelial Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    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.

    Secretory Defects in Pediatric Osteosarcoma Result from Downregulation of Selective COPII Coatomer Proteins

    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.

    Deletion of STAT3 from Foxd1 Cell Population Protects Mice from Kidney Fibrosis by Inhibiting Pericytes Trans-Differentiation and Migration

    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.

    Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside Preconditioning Enhances the Ability of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Promoting Wound Healing

    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.

    Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Insulin Resistance in Diet-Induced Obese Mice via an Interaction with Splenocytes

    Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs infusions improved systemic metabolic homeostasis and alleviated insulin resistance in epididymal adipose tissue but elicited no change in weight.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Loaded with miR-155 Inhibitor Ameliorate Diabetic Wound Healing

    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.

    Clock-Modified Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Therapy Rescues Molecular Circadian Oscillation and Age-Related Bone Loss via miR142-3p/Bmal1/YAP Signaling Axis

    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.

    MYC Inhibition Reprograms Tumor Immune Microenvironment by Recruiting T Lymphocytes and Activating the CD40/CD40L System in Osteosarcoma

    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.
