|
| Scientists demonstrated that the tetrahedral DNA nanoplatform had great potential in inducing the differentiation of human MSCs (hMSCs) into functional hepatocyte-like cells by transferring the liver-specific miR122 to hMSCs efficiently without any extrinsic factors. [Bioactive Materials] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that growth and multipotency of human MSCs were enhanced at the highly adaptive fluid interface. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| Researchers evaluated a unique device ‘microlyzer’ for generating stromal-vascular fraction from adipose tissue using a mechanical technique that required minimal intervention. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| MSCs were grown into a collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrix to form a dermis-like tissue sheet, named engineered dermal substitute. [Tissue Engineering Part A] |
|
|
|
| Retinal pigment epithelium cells from passages 5–7 were treated with WJMSC-S for 24 hours at 37◦C and subsequently subjected to RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis. Gene expression level was evaluated using real-time PCR in the treated versus control cells. [Molecular Biology Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers explored the roles of mitochondrial function and reactive oxygen species in regulating the adipogenesis ofMaxillary/mandibular bone marrow-derived MSCs. [Molecular Biology Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Investigators reported that hexyl 5-aminolevulinate hydrochloride-loaded engineered cytokine-primed MSC-extracellular vesicles with high expression of immune checkpoint molecule programmed death-legend 1 (PD-L1) exerted excellent inflammatory targeting and immunosuppressive effects for type 1 diabetes imaging and therapy.

|
|
| Researchers produced hydroxyapatite-based scaffolds with three types of Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) microarchitectures, namely Diamond, Gyroid, and Primitive, and compared them to an established Lattice microarchitecture by mechanical testing, 3D-cell culture, and in vivo implantation. [Tissue Engineering Part A] |
|
|
|
| Cell culture results demonstrated that exosomes improved the proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow MSCs. Following establishment of a supracondylar femoral bone defect, exosomes, and pTa were implanted into the defect area. [Molecular Medicine Reports] |
|
|
|
|
|
| The authors describe osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis as two vital processes for producing mature, active bone cells in the context of interactions between cells and the bone matrix. [Stem Cell Reviews And Reports] |

|
| The US FDA approved Vyjuvek, a herpes-simplex virus type 1 vector-based gene therapy, for the treatment of wounds in patients six months of age and older with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with mutation(s) in the collagen type VII alpha 1 chain gene. [FDA] |

|
| The world’s second-ever private astronaut mission to the International Space Station will not only ferry up the first Saudi Arabian woman to go to space but also a first-of-its-kind experiment that will test whether scientists can create induced pluripotent stem cells in microgravity.
