    Abstract

    Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Acute Graft versus Host Disease by Elevating Phytosphingosine

    Investigators revealed the efficacy of human umbilical cord MSCs in alleviating acute graft-versus-host disease in a murine model, with striking changes in metabolism and significantly elevated phytosphingosine levels due to sphingolipid metabolism.

    Abstract

    Neuroprotective Mechanism of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Improving the Phenotype Polarization of Microglia via the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 Pathway in Vascular Dementia

    Vascular dementia (VaD) rat model was established by bilateral common carotid artery ligation and human umbilical cord MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) were extracted. VaD rats were injected with Evs through the tail vein.
