    Discovery and Targeting of a Noncanonical Mechanism of Sarcoma Resistance to ADI-PEG20 Mediated by the Microenvironment

    Tumor initiation and growth rates were measured for a spontaneous argininosuccinate synthetase 1 gene (Ass1) knockout murine sarcoma model. Tumor cell lines were generated, and resistance to arginine deprivation therapy was studied in vitro and in vivo.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal miR-27b-3p Alleviates Liver Fibrosis via Downregulating YAP/LOXL2 Pathway

    The authors investigated the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of human umbilical cord-derived exosomes in lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) inhibition of liver fibrosis. MSC-ex, nonselective LOX inhibitor β-aminopropionitrile, or PBS were administered into carbon tetrachloride-induced fibrotic livers.

    Bioactive Cell Niche Mediating Uniform Thermal Stimulus for BMSC Neural Differentiation through TRPV1 Channel Activation

    Investigators established a near-infrared light initiated photothermal stimulus platform, with full bioactivity and high thermal manipulation efficiency. They proved that the thermal activation triggered TRPV1 ion channel opening and Ca2+ influx, which finally promoted neural differentiation of bone marrow MSCs.

    Lipid Kinase PIP5Kα Contributes to Hippo Pathway Activation via Interaction with Merlin and by Mediating Plasma Membrane Targeting of LATS1

    Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase α (PIP5Kα), Merlin, or large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1) knockout or knockdown cells and transfected cells with them were used. LATS1, YAP, and TAZ activities were measured using biochemical methods and PIP2 levels were evaluated using cell imaging.

    The Bioceramic Sealer iRoot SP Promotes Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Stem Cells from Apical Papilla via miR-141-3p/SPAG9/MAPK Signaling Pathway

    Researchers investigated the role of miR-141-3p in osteogenic differentiation and underlying mechanisms of iRoot SP-treated human stem cells from the apical papilla (hSCAPs). hSCAPs were extracted from tissue blocks with enzyme digestion and identified.

    Abstract

    Mdm2/p53 Levels in Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are Essential for Maintaining the Hematopoietic Niche in Response to DNA Damage

    To advance the understanding of physiological functions of p53 and Mdm2 in BM-MSCs, the authors developed traceable conditional mouse models targeting Mdm2 and/or Trp53 in vivo.

    Exosomal miR-125b-5p Derived from Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Enhance Diabetic Hindlimb Ischemia Repair via Targeting Alkaline Ceramidase 2

    Exosomes were isolated from adipose-derived MSCs culture supernatants by differential ultracentrifugation and their effect on C2C12 cells and HUVECs was assessed by EdU, Transwell, and in vitro tube formation assays separately.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Chronic GVHD by Boosting Thymic Regeneration in a CCR9-Dependent Manner in Mice

    Investigators showed in a murine graft-versus-host disease model that MSCs promoted the quantity and maturity of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) as well as elevated the proportion of Aire+ medullary TECs, improving both CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes and thymic Tregs, balancing CD4/CD8 ratio in blood.

    Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cell Therapy for COVID-19: Global Clinical Trial Landscape, Published Safety/Efficacy Outcomes, Cell Product Manufacturing and Clinical Delivery

    Demographic analysis found the highest number of cell therapy trials for COVID-19 was in United States, China, and Iran, with the highest number per capita in Israel, Spain, Iran, Australia, and Sweden. The leading cell types were multipotent MSCs, natural killer cells, and mononuclear cells.
