Summary: This study investigates the therapeutic effect of sinomenine on renal fibrosis and its mechanism. The results show that sinomenine can improve the progression of renal fibrosis by regulating the expression of miR-204-5p in exosomes from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and the PI3K-AKT pathway.

Summary: This study found that δ-tocotrienol (δ-TT) can enhance the wound healing ability of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, it was found that δ-TT-BMSCs can inhibit the progression of ferroptosis and promote wound healing. This study provides a new strategy for treating wounds.

Summary: Human endometrium-derived stem cells (hEMSCs) exhibit enhanced capacities for cell proliferation and migration, as well as greater angiogenic potentials, contributing to improved cardiac repair post ischemic injury in comparison to human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs).

Summary: Bone regeneration is a complex process involving the coordination of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis, with the balance between osteogenesis and adipogenesis of BMSCs playing a critical role. Recent studies have shown that exosomes from M2 macrophages facilitate osteogenesis and reduce adipogenesis through the miR-690/IRS-1/TAZ axis, potentially serving as a therapeutic tool for bone loss diseases.

Summary: Osteoporotic bone defects are a severe complication of osteoporosis. This study found that melatonin has the potential to enhance the repair of osteoporotic bone defects by restoring the mitochondrial function of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). In vitro experiments showed that melatonin improved the mitochondrial function of BMMSCs and reduced the level of mitochondrial superoxide. In animal experiments, silk fibroin scaffolds loaded with melatonin partially restored the mitochondrial energy metabolism and osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs.

Summary: The tumor microenvironment in prostate cancer plays vital roles in tumor cell metastasis and re-growth. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are crucial in forming this microenvironment. The study found that N-cadherin is a key mediator of BM-MSCs migration towards hormone-insensitive prostate tumor cells.

Summary: In this study, it was found that hypoxic BMSCs-derived exosomes (hypBMSC-Exo) could alleviate cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and had better therapeutic effects compared to BMSC-Exo. This may be achieved by up-regulating the expression of SOD1 and SOD2 to protect auditory function.

Summary: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play a critical role in cardiac cell therapy by delivering molecular cargo and mediating cellular signaling. Knocking down miR-192-5p and miR-432-5p in cardiac c-kit+ cell-derived sEVs enhances their therapeutic capabilities and improves cardiac function, reducing fibrosis and necrotic inflammatory responses. This study suggests that targeting deleterious miRNAs in sEVs could be a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic myocardial infarction.

Summary: Both adipose-derived and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs and BMSCs) can suppress renal fibrosis, with ADSCs showing a stronger effect under serum-containing culture conditions. However, ADSC infusion in mice may lead to a higher death rate from pulmonary embolism. Therefore, the selection of ADSCs or BMSCs for clinical applications should consider the target disease and culture method.

Summary: This study demonstrates that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have vasculogenic properties. Different populations of MSCs vary in angiogenic factor expression and vasculogenic properties. The vasculogenic MSCs (vMSCs), distinct from endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), may contribute to neovascularization and could be a promising cellular therapy for cardiovascular diseases.
