    In Vitro Erythrocyte Production Using Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Determining the Best Hematopoietic Stem Cell Sources

    Human-induced pluripotent stem cells were established from three different hematopoietic stem cell sources—peripheral blood, cord blood, and bone marrow aspirates —using episomal reprogramming vectors and differentiated into functionalred blood cells.

    Relationship between Platelets and the Clinical Efficacy of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells for HBV-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure and Liver Cirrhosis: A Preliminary Clinical Study

    Researchers analyzed and compared the platelet count changes of acute-on-chronic liver failure and patients with liver cirrhosis after umbilical cord MSC (UCMSC) therapy. Subsequently, a subgroup analysis based on UCMSC infusion times and patient age was also performed.

    Placenta-Derived Exosomes as Carriers of Non-Coding RNAs in Maternal Circulation of Patients with Preeclampsia

    Researchers compared the ncRNA associated with preeclampsia in exosomes and whole serum to observe the exchange of serum exosomes with trophoblast cells. The results showed that placental alkaline phosphatase was enriched in the isolated exosomes.
