mesenchymal stem cells

[Biomedical Materials] The authors prepared a functional cell derived extracellular matrix biomaterial enriched with VEGFA and bFGF, which induced endothelial differentiation of human umbilical cord MSCs and promoted angiogenesis, which may improve the healing effect of skin injury.

[Biomaterials] Researchers established an alginate hydrogel system with constant stiffness and tunable stress relaxation rate, which was a key parameter for the viscoelastic property of the material.

[Journal of Translational Medicine] Scientists discuss the accumulating evidence indicating the therapeutic potential of the MSC-conditioned medium in periodontal regeneration-related pre-clinical and clinical studies.

[Cancer Cell International] The authors analyze the existing researches and elaborate on the functions of MSCs in cancer progression and anticancer therapeutic resistance, demonstrating that MSCs may be a viable cancer therapeutic target.

[Med] Scientists developed a fluid-driven heart pouch with a memory-shaped microfabricated lattice structure inspired by origami. The pore size of the membrane was around 0.4 μm, which allowed for the penetration of growth factors and exosomes.

[NPJ Regenerative Medicine] Scientists performed a systematic review of clinical studies investigating different types of stem cells as treatments for COVID-19 and ARDS to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of cell therapy.
