|
| Investigators showed that HucMSCs contributed to cardiac functional recovery and attenuated cardiac remodeling post myocardial infarction. Intramyocardial injection of HucMSCs upregulated the CD4+FoxP3+ Tregs and contributed to the migration of CD4+ T cells into the injured heart via CCL5/CCR5 pathway. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| Researchers discovered a new biological function and underlying molecular mechanisms of growth differentiation factor-11 (GDF-11) in the regulation of human extravillous trophoblast cell invasion. [Cell Communication and Signaling] |

|
|
| Scientists present a mega-analysis of 14 publicly available placenta DNA methylation microarray datasets to identify individual CpGs and regions associated with fetal sex. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators suggested that drug transport in BeWo cells can be altered before and after differentiation, and that the altered gabapentin uptake could be mediated by the intracellular amino acid status. [Xenobiotica] |

|
|
| A comparative analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data collected from three HUCMSCs and two human umbilical vein endothelial cell controls identified eight common cell clusters, all of which indicated regenerative potential specific for HUCMSCs. [Nature Cardiovascular Research] |

|
| Since angiogenesis plays a critical role in all four stages of normal wound healing, recent therapeutic approaches have focused on utilizing stem cells for inducing neovascularization. [Wound Repair and Regeneration] |

|
| The authors summarize phthalate exposures in relation to an extensive set of placental measures. Phthalate-related alterations were reported for placental morphology, hormone production, vascularization, histopathology, and gene/protein expression. [Toxicological Sciences] |
