Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes Treatment: Current Advances and Future Opportunity
Curr Stem Cell Res Ther. 2023 Oct 10. doi: 10.2174/011574888X268740231002054459. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 1 Diabetes (T1D) is characterized by hyperglycemia, and caused by a lack of insulin secretion. At present there is no cure for T1D and patients are dependent on exogenous insulin for lifelong, which seriously affects their lives. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be differentiated to β cell-like cells to rescue the secretion of insulin and reconstruct immunotolerance to preserve the function of islet β cells. Due to the higher proportion of children and adolescents in T1D patients, the efficacy and safety i...

Cancer Stem Cells and Treatment of Cancer: An Update and Future Perspectives
This article concentrates on the development of novel therapeutic strategies that combine conventional treatments with CSC inhibitors to eradicate cancer cells and CSCs, thereby treating cancer and preventing its recurrence. However, the diversity of CSCs poses a significant obstacle to the development of CSC-targeted therapies, necessitating extensive research for a better understanding and exploration of therapeutic approaches. Future development of CSC-targeted therapies will rely heavily on overcoming this obstacle.PMID:37818567 | DOI:10.2174/011574888X247548230921063514 (Source: Current Stem Cell Research and Therapy)

Clinical Trials of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of COVID 19
Curr Stem Cell Res Ther. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.2174/011574888X260032230925052240. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are being investigated as a treatment for a novel viral disease owing to their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tissue repair and regeneration characteristics, however, the exact processes are unknown. MSC therapy was found to be effective in lowering immune system overactivation and increasing endogenous healing after SARS-CoV-2 infection by improving the pulmonary microenvironment. Many studies on mesenchymal stem cells have been undertaken concurrently, and we may help speed up ...

The Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Wound Infection
Curr Stem Cell Res Ther. 2023 Oct 5. doi: 10.2174/011574888X252482230926104342. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWound infection often requires a long period of care and an onerous treatment process. Also, the rich environment makes the wound an ideal niche for microbial growth. Stable structures, like biofilm, and drug-resistant strains cause a delay in the healing process, which has become one of the important challenges in wound treatment. Many studies have focused on alternative methods to deal the wound infections. One of the novel and highly potential ways is mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). MSCs are mesoderm-derived p...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLiver failure (LF) is serious liver damage caused by multiple factors, resulting in severe impairment or decompensation of liver synthesis, detoxification, metabolism, and biotransformation. The general prognosis of LF is poor with high mortality in non-transplant patients. The clinical treatments for LF are mainly internal medicine comprehensive care, an artificial liver support system, and liver transplantation. However, none of the above treatment strategies can solve the problems of all liver failure patients a...
