Conversion of Vascular Endothelial Cells into Multipotent Stem-Like Cells
Here, researchers show that vascular endothelial cells can transform into multipotent stem-like cells by an activin-like kinase-2 receptor-dependent mechanism. [Nat Med]
Fus-Chop Fusion Protein Expression Coupled to P53 Deficiency Induces Liposarcoma in Mouse but not Human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells
Human sarcomas have been modeled in mice by expression of specific fusion genes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, sarcoma models based on human MSCs are still missing. Researchers attempted to develop a model of liposarcoma by expressing FUS-CHOP, a hallmark mixoid liposarcoma-associated fusion oncogene, in wild-type and p53-deficient mouse and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells. [Stem Cells]
Enrichment of Human ESC-Derived Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Immunosuppressive and Anti-Inflammatory Properties Capable to Protect Against Experimental Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Researchers report an efficient enrichment of mesenchymal stem cells from human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) through specific inhibition of SMAD-2/3 signaling. [Stem Cells]
A Non-Human Primate Model for Urinary Bladder Regeneration Utilizing Autologous Sources of Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Researchers postulated that mesenchymal stem cells could provide a cell source for partial bladder regeneration in a newly described non-human primate bladder (baboon) augmentation model. [Stem Cells]
Dynamic Electromechanical Hydrogel Matrices for Stem Cell Culture
Researchers report the development of hydrogel based multifunctional matrices that not only provide three-dimensional structural support to the embedded cells but also can simultaneously provide potentially beneficial dynamic mechanical and electrical cues to the cells. [Adv Funct Mater]
Urokinase Receptor Mediates Mobilization, Migration and Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have regenerative properties and are recognized as putative players in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The study was designed to elucidate a probable role for the multifunctional urokinase/urokinase receptor system in MSC regulation. [Cardiovasc Res]
Effects of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on ER-Positive Human Breast Carcinoma Cells Mediated through ER-SDF-1/CXCR4 Crosstalk
Adult human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been shown to home to sites of carcinoma and affect biological processes, including tumor growth and metastasis. Previous findings have been conflicting and a clear understanding of the effects of hMSCs on cancer remains to be established. Therefore, researchers set out to investigate the impact of hMSCs on the estrogen receptor positive, hormone-dependent breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7. [Mol Cancer]
Dormant Phase and Multinuclear Cells: Two Key Phenomena in Early Culture of Murine Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Here, researchers followed mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for more than 1 year after isolation and examined the effect of expansion on changes in morphology, growth kinetics, plasticity and chromosomal structure during in vitro culture. [Stem Cells Dev]
