αSMA+ Fibroblasts Suppress Lgr5+ Cancer Stem Cells and Restrain Colorectal Cancer Progression

Scientists demonstrated that αSMA+ cancer-associated fibroblast in colorectal cancer (CRC) exert tumor-restraining functions via BMP4/TGFβ1 paracrine signaling that served to suppress Lgr5+ CSCs and promoted anti-tumor immunity, ultimately limiting CRC progression.

Human-Derived Treg and MSC Combination Therapy May Augment Immunosuppressive Potency In Vitro, but Did Not Improve Blood Brain Barrier Integrity in an Experimental Rat Traumatic Brain Injury Model

Researchers compared the ability of regulatory T cells (Treg) + mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) combination therapy, as well as MSC and Treg monotherapies, to improve blood brain barrier permeability in vivo and suppress inflammation in vitro.
