Olfactory Ecto-Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Ameliorate Murine Sjögren’s Syndrome by Modulating the Function of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

Scientists found that murine olfactory ecto-MSC-derived exosomes significantly enhanced the suppressive function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells by upregulating arginase expression and increasing ROS and NO levels.

Extracellular Vesicles Derived from miR-199a-5p-Modified Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Immune Thrombocytopenia by Inhibiting T Helper 17 Differentiation

Researchers investigated the role of miR-199a-5p in T helper 17 (Th17) differentiation and determined whether extracellular vesicles derived from miR-199a-5p-modified adipose-derived MSCs could relieve immune thrombocytopenia by inhibiting Th17 differentiation.

Mechanical Force-Driven TNFα Endocytosis Governs Stem Cell Homeostasis

The authors reveal that even under physiological conditions, MSCs produce and release a low level of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), unexpectedly required for preserving the self-renewal and differentiation of MSCs via autocrine/paracrine signaling.

Platelets Facilitate the Wound-Healing Capability of Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Mitochondrial Transfer and Metabolic Reprogramming

The authors provide evidence that, upon their activation, platelets transfer respiratory-competent mitochondria to MSCs primarily via dynamin-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Kindlin-2 Regulates Skeletal Homeostasis by Modulating PTH1R in Mice

Researchers report that deleting Kindlin-2 in osteoblastic cells using the mouse 10-kb Dmp1-Cre largely neutralized the intermittent PTH-stimulated increasing of bone volume fraction and bone mineral density by impairing both osteoblast and osteoclast formation in murine adult bone.

A Biomimetic Engineered Bone Platform for Advanced Testing of Prosthetic Implants

To build a testing platform for advanced characterization of bone implants, investigators anchored model prosthetic titanium and stainless steel implants into decellularized bone scaffolds, seeded the implant-scaffold constructs with induced MSCs, and cultured the samples in an osteogenic environment in the presence of osteogenic inducing factors to grow bone tissue in vitro.
