    The Effect of Pore Size on the Mechanical Properties, Biodegradation and Osteogenic Effects of Additively Manufactured Magnesium Scaffolds After High Temperature Oxidation: An In Vitro and In Vivo Study

    The effects of pore size on the mechanical characteristics and biodegradation of scaffolds, as well as new bone formation, were investigated using magnesium scaffolds with three different pore sizes, namely, 500, 800, and 1400 μm.

    Efferocytosis by Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Disrupts Osteoblastic Differentiation via Mitochondrial Remodeling

    Investigators performed flow cytometric analysis of neutrophil uptake by ST2 cells, a murine bone marrow-derived stromal cell line, and in murine primary bone marrow-derived stromal cells.

    Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuate Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via Anti-Inflammation and Anti-Oxidative Stress in Rats

    Researchers evaluated the therapeutic effects of induced pluripotent stem cell derived MSC transplantation on brain injury after ischemia‒reperfusion using a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model and compared its therapeutic efficacy to that of bone marrow MSC.

    Retinoic Acid Alters Metalloproteinase Action in Red Deer Antler Stem Cells

    Scientists determined metalloproteinases (MMPs)’ action in antler stem cells before and after differentiation into adipo-, osteo-, and chondrocytes and the effect of retinoic acid on modifying MMP action in antler stem cells.

    Phenytoin Regulates Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow Stem Cells by PI3K/Akt Pathway

    Bone marrow stem cells were extracted from jaw bone tissue debris obtained from five subjects undergoing implant restoration. Osteogenic and adipogenic experiments proved cells stemness, and the expression of ALP, RUNX2, and OSX were detected by qPCR and Western blot.

    Ghrelin Promotes Cardiomyocyte Differentiation of Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by DDX17-Mediated Regulation of the SFRP4/Wnt/β-Catenin Axis

    The authors found that ghrelin promoted cardiomyocyte differentiation of adipose tissue-derived MSCs in a concentration‑dependent manner, as shown by increased levels of cardiomyocyte markers GATA binding protein 4, α‑myosin heavy chain, ISL LIM homeobox 1, NK2 homeobox 5 and troponin T2, cardiac type.

    Fibroblasts Are the Most Suitable Cell Source for Regenerative Medicine Due to Their High Intracellular Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Content

    To identify which cell types are suitable for human dry-preserved cell sheets, scientists compared the intracellular FGF2 levels in seven types of cells reported as cell sheets for clinical use or preclinical studies.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Their Role in the Tumor Microenvironment

    It has been described that MSCs can be activated and present various phenotypes, which could explain the divergence in their action; however, these activation mechanisms and the different phenotypes still need to be well known.

    Medicine Is Plagued by Untrustworthy Clinical Trials. How Many Studies Are Faked or Flawed?

    In October 2020, John Carlisle reported a startling estimate of the number of clinical-trial studies in medical journals that are fake or fatally flawed. For more than 150 trials, Carlisle got access to anonymized individual participant data and judged that 44% of the trials contained at least some flawed data.
