    Report of a Phase I Clinical Trial for Safety Assessment of Human Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI)

    This Phase I dose-escalation study investigated placenta-derived MSCs in nine CLI patients who were enrolled into each of the two dosage groups, delivered intramuscularly twice, two months apart.

    Adipose Tissue-Derived Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Can Better Suppress Complement Lysis, Engraft and Inhibit Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Mice

    Human MSCs were derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. In vitro immunomodulatory potential was determined by co-culture experiments between human MSCs and immune cells implicated in acute graft-versus-host disease progression.

    Nanoscale Vibration Could Promote Tenogenic Differentiation of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Investigators used nanovibration to induce the differentiation of MSCs toward the tenogenic fate solely by the use of nanovibration, and without the need for growth factors or complex scaffolds.

    Connecting G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor Biomolecular Mechanisms with the Pathophysiology of Preeclampsia: A Review

    The authors provide a summary of the current understanding on how G protein-coupled estrogen receptor stimulation regulates some of the features of normal pregnancy, and a potential link between its signaling network and uteroplacental dysfunction in preeclampsia.
