    CURRENT PUBLICATIONS (Ranked by Impact Factor of the Journal)

    Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Human Third Molar Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
    Researchers generated induced pluripotent stem cells from mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human third molars (wisdom teeth) by retroviral transduction of OCT3/4, SOX2, and KLF4 without MYC which is considered as oncogene. [J Biol Chem]

    Bone Marrow Stromal Cells from Multiple Myeloma Patients Uniquely Induce Bortezomib Resistant NF-KappaB Activity in Myeloma Cells
    Here researchers report that bone marrow stromal cells specifically derived from multiple myeloma (MM) patients are capable of further activating bortezomib-resistant NF-kappaB activity in MM cells. [Mol Cancer]

    Adipose Tissue and Wharton’s Jelly Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Suppress Lymphocyte Responses by Secreting Leukemia Inhibitory Factor
    In this study, researchers investigated the capacity of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from adipose tissue and Wharton’s jelly to modulate lymphocyte proliferation as well as their impact on regulatory T cells. [Tissue Eng Part A]

    Growth and Differentiation Properties of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Populations Derived from Whole Human Umbilical Cord
    Cells isolated from whole human umbilical cord (UC) satisfies all requirements essential for the generation of stem cell banks containing permanently available cell material for applications in the field of regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to improve and adjust the methods which are already employed for adult mesenchymal stem cell expansion and differentiation to specific properties and requirements of the primitive stem cells collected from UC. [Stem Cell Rev]

    Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived CD34+ Cells Function as MSC Progenitor Cells
    Here researchers demonstrate human embryonic stem cells-derived CD34+CD73- cells can serve as mesenchymal progenitor cells with the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. [Bone]

    Transcriptional Regulation of Oct4 in Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells
    This study showed that Oct4 and Sox2 genes were expressed in undifferentiated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and BM-MSCs on day 7 but not on days 14 and 21 following osteogenic induction. [Stem Cells Dev]

    Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells for Cell Therapy of Airway Allergic Diseases in Mouse
    Researchers compared murine mesenchymal stem cells of BALB/c mice derived from bone marrow and adipose tissue with respect to proliferation potential, immunophenotype, and multilineage differentiation capacity. [Acta Histochem]
