    A Self-Homing and Traceable Cardiac Patch Leveraging Ferumoxytol for Spatiotemporal Therapeutic Delivery

    Researchers engineered a scaffold-free MSC sheet with an inherent ability to migrate into the infarcted myocardium, a strategy enabled by actively establishing a sustained intracellular hypoxic environment through the endocytosis of our FDA-approved ferumoxytol.

    ZO-1 Regulates the Migration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cooperation with α-Catenin in Response to Breast Tumor Cells

    Scientists identified zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) as a specific intrinsic molecule that played a vital role in mediating the collective migration of MSCs towards breast tumor cells and transforming growth factor beta, which was a crucial factor secreted by breast tumor cells.

    Gastric Cancer Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Tumor Glycolysis and Chemoresistance by Regulating B7H3 in Gastric Cancer Cells

    Glucose uptake and lactate production assays were used to evaluate the importance of B7H3 expression in gastric cancer MSCs-treated gastric cancer cells. The therapeutic efficacy of oxaliplatin and paclitaxel was determined using CCK-8 and colony formation assays.

    Abstract

    Increased Activity of MAPKAPK2 within Mesenchymal Cells as a Target for Inflammation Associated Fibrosis in Crohn’s Disease

    Investigators evaluated cell-specific changes in MAPKAPK2 (MK2) activity between predominantly inflammatory Crohn’s disease (CD) versus CD with fibrotic complication and defined the role of stromal cell-specific MK2 activation in CD-associated. CD tissue-derived MSCs and conditional KO mice were used.
