Application of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Sheet to Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease
Umbilical cord (UC)-MSCs have few human leukocyte antigen-II and major histocompatibility complex class I molecules, and are easy to isolate and culture, UC-MSC sheets have been proposed as a candidate for clinical applications to ischemic heart disease.

The B56α Subunit of PP2A Is Necessary for Mesenchymal Stem Cell Commitment to Adipocyte
The authors reported the PP2A phosphatase B subunit B56α was specifically induced during adipocyte differentiation and mediated PP2A to dephosphorylate GSK3β, thereby blocking Wnt activity and driving adipocyte differentiation.
