    Effect of Chitin-Architected Spatiotemporal Three-Dimensional Culture Microenvironments on Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Scientists used chitin-based nanoscaffolds to establish a novel MSC three-dimensional (3D) culture. They compared 2D and 3D cultured human umbilical cord-MSCs, including differentiation assays, cell markers, proliferation, and angiogenesis.

    Deterministic Single Cell Encapsulation in PEG Norbornene Microgels for Promoting Anti-Inflammatory Response and Therapeutic Delivery of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

    Researchers reported the design of a microfluidic device that was capable of single-cell encapsulation within PEG norbornene hydrogels on-chip. Singly encapsulated MSCs had elevated expression levels in genes that code anti-inflammatory cytokines thus enhancing the secretion of proteins of interest.

    Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Bone Marrow Resident Versus Culture-Expanded Mouse Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells

    Scientists analyzed by RNA sequencing Lin–SCA1+ MSCs enriched from bone marrow (BM) by immunodepletion and after subsequent culture expansion and Lin−LEPR+ MSCs sorted directly from BM.

    Abstract

    PMAIP1, a Novel Diagnostic and Potential Therapeutic Biomarker in Osteoporosis

    Investigators identified potential biomarkers from osteoclast progenitors, specifically peripheral blood monocytes on predicting the osteoporotic phenotype. Its osteogenesis, migration, and proliferation abilities in bone MSCs were validated.

    EPO Regulates the Differentiation and Homing of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells through Notch1/Jagged Pathway to Treat Pulmonary Hypertension

    Scientists investigated whether erythropoietin (EPO) can treat pulmonary arterial hypertension in rats by regulating the differentiation and homing of bone marrow MSCs through Notch1/Jagged signaling pathway.

    Efficient Healing of Diabetic Wounds by MSC-EV-7A Composite Hydrogel via Suppression of Inflammation and Enhancement of Angiogenesis

    Investigators proposed that MSC-extracellular vesicles (EVs) could be combined with histone deacetylase 7-derived 7-amino-acid peptide (7A) to greatly promote diabetic wound healing. The combination of EVs and 7A significantly improved the migration and proliferation of skin fibroblasts.
