mesenchymal stem cells

[Scientific Reports] Investigators identified the humoral factor involved in the association between tumor cells and surrounding normal cells using a co-culture model and investigated the significance of their findings.

[Stem Cells International] The authors compile pertinent preclinical Alzheimer's disease research on transgenic mice as well as clinical trials on MSC-based therapy from diverse sources.

[Cell Metabolism] Mechanistically, the authors found that grancalcin binds to the plexin-b2 receptor and partially inactivated its downstream signaling pathways, thus repressing osteogenesis and promoting adipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells.

[International Immunopharmacology] To better understand the role of MSC in the prevention and treatment of graft-versus-host disease, umbilical cord derived MSCs were pre-treated with Chinese medicine Asarinin and IFN-γ.

[Stem Cells and Development] Investigators explored the protective benefit of heme oxygenase-1-placenta-derived MSC transplantation in a preeclampsia-like rat model.

[Microscopy Research and Technique] Scientists tested the ability of human MSCs isolated from the vascular wall to grow as spheres, and provide a characterization of this 3D model.
