    Bioscaffold Developed with Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane Seeded with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: Assessment of Efficacy and Safety Profiles in a Second-Degree Burn Preclinical Model

    The authors associated decellularized human amniotic membrane with adipose-derived MSCs, as a therapy strategy for second-degree burns in a preclinical model.

    Immunomodulation by Placenta-Derived Decidua Stromal Cells: Role of Histocompatibility, Accessory Cells and Freeze–Thawing

    Investigators showed that histocompatibility and CD14+ monocyte cells had an impact on human placenta-derived decidua stromal cells immunomodulation but frozen–thawed or freshly prepared cells did not.

    Abstract

    Modeling Placental Development and Disease Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Researchers presented in vitro models of human trophoblast differentiation, describing both primary and human pluripotent stem cells-derived trophoblast stem cell as a tool to study early placental development and disease in multiple settings.

    Abstract

    Low-Dose Telomerase Is Required for the Expansion and Migration of Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Scientists isolated and identified a placental MSC line carrying compound heterozygote variations in hTERT that lost telomerase activity, showed a typical surface phenotype of MSCs, and was able to differentiate into multiple cell lineages.

    Abstract

    Silencing P38 MAPK Reduces Cellular Senescence in Human Fetal Chorion Trophoblast Cells

    The authors tested if eliminating p38 would reduce oxidative stress induced cell fates like cellular senescence, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and inflammation induced by these processes in chorion trophoblast cells.

    Abstract

    Chemical Inhibition of Mitochondrial Fission Improves Insulin Signaling and Subdues Hyperglycemia Induced Stress in Placental Trophoblast Cells

    Researchers showed that chemical inhibition of mitochondrial fission in cultured placental trophoblast cells led to an increase in mitochondrial fusion and improved the physiological state of these cells.
