Bioengineered In Vitro 3D Model of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Human Skeletal Muscle

Biofabrication tools can be applied to engineer human three-dimensional culture systems that complement current preclinical research models. Investigators described the development of the first in vitro three-dimensional model of myotonic dystrophy type 1 human skeletal muscle.

Eradication of Specific Donor-Dependent Variations of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Immunomodulation to Enhance Therapeutic Values

Researchers analyzed human umbilical-cord-derived MSCs from 32 donors and revealed donor-dependent variations in two non-correlated properties; cell proliferation, and immune modulatory functions in vitro and in vivo, which might explain inconsistent clinical efficacies of MSCs.

Autophagy-Mediated Activation of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells Driven by Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived IL-15

Investigators found that MSCs did not influence the proliferation of mucosal-associated invariant (TMAIT) cells but strikingly induced an activated phenotype with an increased expression of CD69, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and granzyme B.

The Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome Promotes Hepatic Regeneration in Miniature Pigs after Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Combined with Partial Resection

24 miniature pigs were subjected to laparoscopic liver ischemia-reperfusion combined with partial hepatectomy and divided into the following four groups: the saline group, the DMEM group, the adipose-derived MSC (ASC) group and the ASC-secretome group.
