In regenerative medicine, the isolation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from the adipose tissue’s stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a critical area of study. Our review meticulously examines the isolation process of MSCs, starting wi
This letter addresses the review titled “Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells: Future regenerative medicine for clinical applications in mitigation of radiation injury”. The review highlights the regenerative potential of Wharton’
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a pressing global health concern that is associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity. On the basis of the insights provided by Jiang et al, this editorial presents an exploration of the potent
BACKGROUNDPulmonary fibrosis is one of the main reasons for the high mortality rate among acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived microvesicles (MSC-MVs) have been shown to exert antifibrotic ef
The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is potentially immortal. Using molecular genetic methods, developmental biologists led by Ulrich Technau from the University of Vienna have now identified possible candidates for multipotent stem cells in the sea anemone for the first time. These stem cells are regulated by evolutionary highly conserved genes, which in humans are usually only active in the formation of egg and sperm cells, but give ancient animal phyla such as cnidarians a high degree of regenerative capacity to even escape ageing. The results are currently being published in Science Advances and could also provide insights into the human ageing process in the future.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis describe the dramatic changes within nerve cells that make regeneration possible. Such findings could inspire the development of new therapies for spinal cord injuries in people.
Natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express interleukin-21 (IL-21) demonstrated sustained antitumor activity against glioblastoma stem cell-like cells (GSCs) both in vitro and in vivo, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
A team of researchers from multiple institutions including the University of Chicago and VectorBuilder, has made a significant breakthrough in the understanding of lineage restriction, a biological phenomenon foundational to multicellular lifeforms as it secures the functional identities of the myriad cell types in the body.
A discovery by a three-member Albert Einstein College of Medicine research team may boost the effectiveness of stem-cell transplants, commonly used for patients with cancer, blood disorders, or autoimmune diseases caused by defective stem cells, which produce all the body’s different blood cells.
Cedars-Sinai is planning its first-ever attempt to produce stem cells in space and its fourth launch of stem cell experiments to the International Space Station. The NASA-funded launch is scheduled for Aug. 3 at 11 a.m. EDT/8 a.m. PDT.
New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) showed giving chemotherapy shortly after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant from a less than perfectly matched donor greatly reduces the chances that the patient will develop graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); and sheds new light on cell state changes in prostate cancer.
A new paper surveying advances in diabetes pathogenesis and treatment explores the complex factors contributing to the onset and progression of the disease, suggesting that an understanding of these dynamics is key to developing targeted interventions to reduce the risk of developing diabetes and managing its complications.
Recently, we read an article published by the Yang et al. The results of this study indicated that engineered exosomes loaded with microRNA-29a (miR-29a) alleviate knee inflammation and maintain extracellular matrix stability in Sprague Daw
Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) are gaining significant attention in regenerative medicine for their potential to treat degenerative diseases and mitigate radiation injuries. WJ-MSCs are more naïve and have a better safe
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a significant health challenge, characterized by its widespread prevalence, intricate natural progression and multifaceted pathogenesis. Although NAFLD initially presents as benign fa
An experimental cancer drug could ease cognition for individuals with Rett syndrome, a rare disorder linked to autism, according to new research from the Muotri Lab at the University of California San Diego — a discovery that could lead to therapies for patients with other neurologic conditions.
The Wistar Institute is pleased to announce a research collaboration with Accelerated Biosciences Corp. aimed at creating a platform based on human trophoblast stem cells to explore new immunotherapies that use Accelerated Bio’s proprietary technology.
Cedars-Sinai has published a roundup of its latest medical discoveries and faculty news for June 2024.
