|
| Scientists developed a class of fluorescent probes that could be employed to convert human MSCs into neurons in the presence of fibroblast growth factor. [ACS Chemical Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers determined whether fucoxanthin protects placenta-derived MSCs (PL-MSCs) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. After characterization, PL-MSCs were co-treated with fucoxanthin and H2O2 for 24 hours or pre-treated with fucoxanthin for 24 hours followed by H2O2 for 24 hours. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators compared extracellular vesicles isolated from bone marrow and umbilical cord-derived MSCs that were exposed to various cell culture conditions and evaluated their anti-inflammatory effects. [Stem Cells And Development] |
|
|
|
| Researchers characterized thrombin-primed Wharton’s Jelly (Th.WJ)-derived-MSCs in terms of stem cell markers, differentiation, cell proliferation, and paracrine factors. They demonstrated that compared with naïve MSCs, Th.WJ MSCs significantly enhanced the neuroprotective effects in vitro. [Stem Cells And Development] |
|
|
|
| Scientists examined how adipose-derived MSC exosomes could be used to treat spinal cord injury. They analyzed differentially expressed mRNAs in spinal cord injury using bioinformatics data, gene expression profiles in inflammatory cell models, RT-qPCR, and WB [Applied Biochemistry And Biotechnology] |

|
|
| | Investigators found that Staphylococcus aureus treatment promoted the accumulation of iron, Fe2+, lipid peroxide, and malondialdehyde, increased TFRC and reduced FTH1 and GPX4 to trigger ferroptosis in rat bone marrow MSCs. [Cell Biology International] |
|
|
|
| Bone MSCs (BMSCs) were harvested from ovariectomized and sham-operated rats. After checking the characteristics of rat models and stem cells, the BMSCs were carried out for RNA sequencing. [International Journal Of Medical Sciences] |
|
|
|
| Investigators conducted clonal cell tracking in zebrafish and showed that sox9a+ cells were already committed to either chondrogenic or osteogenic fates during embryonic stages and that respective progenies were independently maintained as mesenchymal progenitor pools. [Development Growth & Differentiation] |

|
|
| The authors provide an overview of the recent advancements in the biogenesis, isolation, and characterization of MSC-extracellular vesicles, with an emphasis on their functions in cancer therapy resistance. [International Journal Of Medical Sciences] |

| Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. provided an update on the grant and allowance of three patent applications for NurOwn® and NurOwn-Exosomes. The patent grants claims for an isolated population of MSCs for use in treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc.] |
