Journal of Molecular Histology, 2025 • January 6, 2025
This study evaluated the therapeutic effect of combined ceftriaxone and ADMSCs in a rodent model of acute spinal infection (ASI). The results showed that the combined therapy was superior to ceftriaxo...
KEY FINDING: The combination of ceftriaxone and ADMSCs resulted in significantly lower levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in both circulatory and spinal cord fluid compared to ceftriaxone or ADMSCs alone, indicating a stronger anti-inflammatory effect.
Cureus, 2024 • December 12, 2024
This study investigated the safety and efficacy of autologous BM-MNC therapy in patients with CP, SCI, and MD, finding significant functional improvements and enhanced quality of life. The therapy app...
KEY FINDING: CP patients showed improved motor and cognitive function with reduced GMFCS scores (p<0.001).
Cell Transplantation, 2025 • January 1, 2025
This study evaluated the effectiveness of combined intrathecal injection of Schwann cells (SCs) and bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in improving SCI-induced neuropathic pain and qua...
KEY FINDING: Significant reductions were observed in pain interference with daily activities, mood, and sleep in the treatment group compared to the control group after 6 months.
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2025 • January 8, 2025
This study explores the potential of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) in treating rotator cuff tendon injuries, which often lead to shoulder pain and dysfunction. The research identifies...
KEY FINDING: CTGF was found to be the most effective growth factor for inducing the differentiation of UCMSCs into tendon cells, leading to changes in cell morphology and increased expression of tendon-specific proteins.
EXPERIMENTAL AND THERAPEUTIC MEDICINE, 2025 • January 1, 2025
This study investigates the effects of intrathecal transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI). The results demonstrated that hU...
KEY FINDING: hUCMSC transplantation improved motor function in rats with SCI, particularly on days 7 and 14 post-injury, as measured by the BBB locomotor rating scale and Rivlin inclined plane test.
Clinics, 2025 • January 1, 2025
This study evaluated the use of human umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells (UCB-MNCs) in treating spinal cord injury (SCI) in mice, focusing on histological changes and motor function recove...
KEY FINDING: Umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells-treated groups exhibited significant reductions in necrosis, hemorrhage, and degeneration compared to controls.
Frontiers in Neurology, 2025 • January 24, 2025
This meta-analysis assessed the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exos) in treating spinal cord injury (SCI) in rat models, focusing on studies using a contusion model. The study...
KEY FINDING: MSC-exos significantly improved hind limb movement in SCI-affected rats, as indicated by a statistically significant increase in BBB scores compared to controls.
Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment, 2025 • February 3, 2025
The review highlights the promise of parthenogenetic stem cells as a novel approach for treating central nervous system diseases, addressing ethical concerns, immune rejection, and tumorigenicity issu...
KEY FINDING: Parthenogenetic stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, including neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and cardiomyocytes, suggesting their broad therapeutic potential for regenerative medicine.
Stem Cells Translational Medicine, 2025 • February 11, 2025
The study investigates how different immunomodulatory strategies (genetic immunodeficiency vs. pharmacological immunosuppression) affect the survival, integration, and gene expression of transplanted ...
KEY FINDING: X-SCID rats exhibited significantly higher retention of transplanted NPCs compared to both Wistar and RNU rats, indicating that both T and B cells play crucial roles in the rejection of xenografted human NPCs.
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2025 • January 21, 2025
This review provides a comprehensive overview of how mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) regulate pyroptosis to alleviate bone-related diseases. It highlights the potential of MSC-Exos a...
KEY FINDING: MSC-Exos have low immunogenicity, are more accessible, have improved preservation qualities, and potentially have low carcinogenic risks compared to MSCs.
