Off-the-shelf bioreactor produced, iPSC-derived neural microtissues containing dopaminergic neurons innervate the striatum and normalize behaviour in a Parkinson rat model
Background: A breadth of preclinical studies (Doi et al, 2020; Piao et al, 2021; Hiller et al, 2022, Kirkeby et al, 2023) is now backing the rationale of pluripotent-stem cell (PSC)-derived cell replacement therapies to restore motor function in Parkinsonian patients. The target for replacement is the major dysfunctional cell population in the disease: ventral mesencephalic A9 dopaminergic neurons, which are particularly vulnerable to the in vitro manipulations required for intracerebral administration (Marchionini et al., 2003).

The history of haploidentical stem cell transplantation: a trip from the bench to the bedside
Hematology. 2024 Dec;29(1):2346401. doi: 10.1080/16078454.2024.2346401. Epub 2024 Apr 30.ABSTRACTAllogeneic bone marrow transplantation is a curative intervention for both neoplastic and non-malignant conditions. However, not all patients have an HLA-matched donor. Therefore, the development of an approach that expand the donor pool was of paramount relevance. The development of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide as graft versus host disease prophylaxis allows the safe use of haploidentical donors, solving the donor availability problem to the vast majority of patients in need. The present paper reviews the history of t...

Resveratrol promotes the differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into esophageal fibroblasts via AKT signaling pathway
Conclusion: Our data suggest that resveratrol promotes the differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into fibroblasts. The underlying mechanism is associated with the downregulation of IL-6 and TGF-β via the AKT pathway and by inhibiting the NF-ĸB pathway. Resveratrol may be useful for esophageal tissue engineering.PMID:38688472 | PMC:PMC11062234 | DOI:10.1177/03946320241249397 (Source: International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology)

PL-hMSC and CH-hMSC derived soluble factors inhibit proliferation but improve hGBM cell migration by activating TGF- β and inhibiting Wnt signaling
Biosci Rep. 2024 Apr 30:BSR20231964. doi: 10.1042/BSR20231964. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common and aggressive brain tumors. GBM resists most chemotherapeutic agents, resulting in a high mortality rate in patients. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which are parts of the cancer stroma, have been shown to be involved in the development and progression of GBM. However, different sources of hMSCs might affect GBM cells differently. In the present study, we established hMSCs from placenta(PL-hMSC) and chorion (CH-hMSC) to study the effects of their released soluble facto...

The link between autophagy and psoriasis
Acta Histochem. 2024 Apr 29;126(4):152166. doi: 10.1016/j.acthis.2024.152166. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutophagy is a lysosome-dependent, self-renewal mechanism that degrades and recycles cellular components in eukaryotic cells to maintain the homeostasis of the intracellular environment. Psoriasis is featured by increased inflammatory response, epidermal hyperproliferation and abnormal differentiation, infiltration of immune cells and increased expression levels of both endothelial adhesion molecules and angiogenic mediators. Evidence indicates that autophagy has important roles in many different types of cells, such...
