    MicroRNA-122-Functionalized DNA Tetrahedron Stimulate Hepatic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Acute Liver Failure Therapy

    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.

    Abstract

    Human Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome Modifies the Processes of Neuroprotection and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Retinal Pigment Epithelium at Transcriptional Level

    Retinal pigment epithelium cells from passages 5–7 were treated with WJMSC-S for 24 hours at 37C and subsequently subjected to RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis. Gene expression level was evaluated using real-time PCR in the treated versus control cells.
