Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have to be expanded in vitro reach a sufficient cell dose for the treatment of various diseases. During process expansion, some obstacles remain overcome. The purpose this study was investigate effects storage solutions and heterogeneity on behavior MSCs vivo. Methods Umbilical cord (UC-MSCs) similar sizes within normal ranges were suspended thr...

Cell therapies using human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received much attention in the past decade. In pursuit of the therapeutic potential of MSCs, cell expansion is required to generate a great number of cells with desired phenotype and functionality. Long-term expansion in vitro, however, can lead to altered functions. To explore the changes in DNA damage responses (DDR) in MSCs expand...

Inside back cover image: Electrode design and optimization of micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) is great significance among the multitudes strategies for boosting energy density without jeopardizing power cycle life, especially considering limited footprint area MSCs. This review categorizes arranges emerging “smart” electrodes into three concepts: layer-by-layer, scaffold-assisted rolling origami. ...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have generated a great amount of interest in recent years as novel therapeutic application for improving the quality pet life and helping them free from painful conditions diseases. It has now become critical to address challenges related safety efficacy MSCs expanded vitro. In this study, we establish standardized process manufacture canine adi...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show immunoregulatory properties. Here, we compared MSCs obtained from placenta (P-MSCs) and umbilical cord (C-MSCs) from the same donor, for their immunomodulatory efficacy. P-MSCs and C-MSCs showed similar morphology and phenotypic profile, but different clonogenic ability. Importantly, they showed a significant difference in their immunosuppressive properties as...

The effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on bone formation has been extensively demonstrated through several in vitro and in vivo studies. However, few studies addressed the effect of MSCs on osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. Under physiological conditions, MSCs support osteoclastogenesis through producing the main osteoclastogenic cytokines, RANKL and M-CSF. However, during inflammati...

This study investigated whether there are marked differences in surface markers between rabbit and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Murine and rabbit MSCs have been reported to be CD90-negative. Rat MSCs have been reported to be CD71-negative. Our previous study also shows that rabbit MSCs are CD29-negative. However, human MSCs are generally considered to be CD29-, CD71-, and CD90-positive....

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from various tissues, and contain common features. However, an increasing number of reports have described variant properties dependent of cell sources. We examined (1) whether MSCs existed in several intraarticular tissues, (2) whether gene expression profiles in intraarticular tissue MSCs closely resembled each other, and (3) whether identified ge...

We investigated the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on wound healing using a three-dimensional (3D) collagen gel scaffold. Three circular full-thickness skin defects were created on the back of Sprague-Dawley rats. One site was covered with a 3D collagen gel containing 2 × 10(6) MSCs (MSCs+/3D collagen+). Another site was replaced with a 3D collagen gel without MSCs and the third site ...

In vitro culture of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HPCs) is supported by a suitable cellular microenvironment, such as mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)-but MSCs are heterogeneous and poorly defined. In this study, we analyzed whether MSCs derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS-MSCs) provide a suitable cellular feeder layer too. iPS-MSCs clearly supported proliferation of HPC...
