    Combinatorial Gene Targeting in Primary Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

    To establish a paradigm for multiplexed gene editing in primary human cord blood-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, investigators used co-delivery of lentiviral sgRNA vectors, together with Cas9 mRNA, to simultaneously edit two genetic loci.

    Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells Exert Anti-Cancer Effects through Secretion of Immunomodulatory Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEV)

    Scientists identified the mechanism by which human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) exerted their anti-cancer effects. They showed that vaccination with live hAEC conferred effective protection against murine colon cancer and melanoma but not against breast cancer.

    Anti-Cancer Effects of Human Placenta-Derived Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells Loaded with Paclitaxel on Cancer Cells

    Researchers investigated the appropriate condition of primming human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) with paclitaxel as a dual therapeutic approach consisting of inherent anticancer features of hAECs and loaded paclitaxel.

    Association between Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Combined with an Umbilical Cord Blood Unit and Graft-versus-Host Disease in Pediatric Patients with Acquired Severe Aplastic Anemia

    Scientists investigated the impact of umbilical cord blood co-infusion on graft-versus-host disease in pediatric patients receiving haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for severe aplastic anemia.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Wound Healing and Effects on Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases-8 and 9 in the Wound Tissue of Diabetic Rats

    Researchers evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of human umbilical cord MSCs in a diabetic foot ulcer rat model. Wound healing was evaluated macroscopically every three days. In addition, they measured growth factors and specific proteins, matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and MMP-8.
