    Competition between Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Controls Hematopoietic Stem Cell Compartment Size

    Researchers suggested that an intricate homeostatic balance between hematopoietic stem cells and proximal hematopoietic progenitors was regulated by cell competition for limited amounts of membrane-bound stem cell factor.

    TOP3A Amplification and ATRX Inactivation Are Mutually Exclusive Events in Pediatric Osteosarcomas Using ALT

    Scientists reported that most high-grade pediatric osteosarcomas maintained their telomeres by alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), and that the majority of these ALT tumors were ATRX wild-type and instead carried an amplified 17p11.2 chromosomal region containing TOP3A.

    Abstract

    Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells Inhibit the Tumor Environment via the miR-125b/HIF1α Signaling Pathway

    The authors suggested a novel strategy to treat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) using MSC-derived extracellular vesicles to transform the behaviors and cellular communication of TNBC cells with other non-cancer cells related to tumorigenesis and metastasis.

    Exosomal MicroRNA-551b-3p from Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Inhibits Breast Cancer Progression via Regulating TRIM31/Akt Signaling

    Researchers found that upregulation of miR-551b-5p suppressed the proliferation and migration and induced the apoptosis of breast cancer cells via downregulating tripartite motif-containing protein 31 (TRIM31).
