    Lin28a Induces SOX9 and Chondrocyte Reprogramming via HMGA2 and Blunts Cartilage Loss in Mice

    Scientists investigated the role of LIN28a in cartilage physiology and in osteoarthritis (OA). Lin28a-inducible conditional cartilage deletion up-regulated Mmp13 in intact mice and exacerbated the cartilage destruction in OA mice.

    Interactions in CSF1-Driven Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors

    An autocrine loop was postulated where the neoplastic cells would be stimulated through CSF1R expressed on their surface. The authors used single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate cellular interactions in tenosynovial giant cell tumor.

    Abstract

    CDK7/GRP78 Signaling Axis Contributes to Tumor Growth and Metastasis in Osteosarcoma

    Researchers investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the association between cyclin-dependent protein kinase 7 (CDK7) and glucose-regulated protein 78-kDa (GRP78) in osteosarcoma.

    Abstract

    Quercetin Protects Rat BMSCs from Oxidative Stress via Ferroptosis

    The authors explored the role and molecular mechanisms of quercetin on the protective effect of bone marrow-derived MSCs under oxidative stress in vitro.

    Abstract

    MiR-659-3p Inhibits Osteosarcoma Progression and Metastasis by Inhibiting Cell Proliferation and Invasion via Targeting SRPK1

    Investigators evaluated miR-659-3p and SRPK1 function in osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression in vitro by using gain- and loss-of-function strategies.

    The Effect of Matrix Stiffness on the Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Scientists fabricated polyacrylamide hydrogels with gradient stiffness to unravel the role of matrix stiffness in chondrogenic process of MSCs, with or without TGF-β3 as induction factor.

    Abstract

    Cellular Taxonomy of Hic1+ Mesenchymal Progenitor Derivatives in the Limb: From Embryo to Adult

    Researchers described the embryonic origin of appendicular Hic1+ mesenchymal progenitors and demonstrated that they arose in the hypaxial somite, and migrated into the developing limb at embryonic day 11.5, well after limb bud initiation.

    TBK1-Medicated DRP1 Phosphorylation Orchestrates Mitochondrial Dynamics and Autophagy Activation in Osteoarthritis

    Investigators demonstrated a strong correlation between TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and osteoarthritis (OA), evidenced by the significantly downregulated expression of TBK1 in cartilage tissue samples of OA patients and in the chondrocytes of aged mice.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy: A Review of Clinical Trials for Multiple Sclerosis

    The best source of MSCs seems to be the umbilical cord due to the easiness of extraction, the noninvasive method of collection, their higher expansion ability, and more powerful immune-modulating properties compared to other locations in the body.
