Although it has been reported that mesenchymal stromal cells are unable to provide sufficient hematopoietic support in myelodysplastic syndrome, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we found that mesenchymal stromal cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndrome displayed a significant increase in senescence, as evidenced by their decreased proliferative capacity, flatten...

In this study, we analyzed the influence of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from lymph nodes of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, on effector functions and differentiation of Vdelta (δ)2 T lymphocytes. We show that: i) lymph-node mesenchymal stromal cells of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma inhibit NKG2D-mediated lymphoid cell killing, but not rituximab-induced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, exe...

Numerous studies have been reported about the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into almost every cell type found in craniofacial tissues, such as bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle etc. Using MSCs as a cell source to engineer craniofacial tissue is becoming feasible. Some effects have been made to bridge the fundamental science and clinical application. Meanwhile, novel f...

background: recent reports demonstrated that intravenous route as a minimally invasive method, similar to direct injection, is suitable for bone marrow stromal cell (bmsc) transplantation. in this study, we made a comparison of intraspinal and intravenous route of bmsc administration to repair injured spinal cord tissue. methods: six groups of adult female rats were used in this study. laminect...

mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. these cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of antigen presenting cells (apcs) following their activity. they also change t cells pheno...

Myocarditis is a common inflammatory cardiomyopathy, associated with cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which can lead to chronic left ventricular dysfunction. Under conventional heart failure therapy, inflammatory cardiomyopathy typically has a progressive course, indicating a need for alternative therapeutic strategies to improve long-term outcomes. Experimental and clinical studies consistently suppor...

Adult mesenchymal stromal cells are plastic-adherent cells that are self-renewing and have the capacity to differentiate into various tissue specific lineages. Stromal cells were initially discovered over 100 years ago and substantial insight into stromal cell identification, isolation, characterization, and differentiation has been made, including efforts to elucidate the factors involved in s...
