Theranostics, 2025 • January 27, 2025
The study successfully synthesized NABDM using coaxial electrospinning technology, creating core-shell structured nano-fiber/nets. This structure ensures time-specific drug release and improves mechan...
KEY FINDING: NABDM modifies the polarization direction of microglia in vitro, and promotes the differentiation of NSCs by activating the cGMP–PKG and cAMP signaling pathways.
IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2025 • February 6, 2025
Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents significant challenges due to its high incidence and difficult treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer a promising approach for treating neurological problems....
KEY FINDING: MSC-derived CM contains growth factors and cytokines that protect nerve cells. These include stem cell factor (SCF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).
Brain and Spine, 2025 • February 7, 2025
This review provides an overview of recent advances in cell transplantation therapy, focusing on patients involved in clinical research. Over the past decade, numerous clinical studies of SCI have bee...
KEY FINDING: Promising results have been reported for patients with subacute SCI, especially in studies involving MSCs, such as those conducted with Stemirac, although no universally recognized breakthroughs have been achieved.
Acta Histochem. Cytochem., 2025 • February 27, 2025
The study aimed to determine the therapeutic efficacy of immature CiN cell transplantation in a marmoset SCI model. Immature CiN cells were transplanted into a subacute marmoset model of SCI on Day 9 ...
KEY FINDING: Immature CiN cell transplantation partially improves spontaneous motor activity in marmoset models of SCI.
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2025 • March 3, 2025
This study investigates the effects of Sodium Tanshinone IIA Sulfonate (STS) on promoting the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells (ENSCs) to repair spinal cord injury (SC...
KEY FINDING: STS significantly reduced the levels of inflammatory indices in the LPS-induced rats NSCs inflammation model and improved the viability of rats NSCs following inflammatory injury.
Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2025 • March 12, 2025
This study investigates the potential of cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) as adult neural stem cells for transplantation therapy in spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing on their self-ren...
KEY FINDING: CSF-cNs, isolated using a Pkd2l1 promoter-driven GFP reporter, exhibit excellent self-renewal capability in vitro.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2023 • March 1, 2023
This review summarizes the experimental and clinical advancements in somatic cell therapy and tissue engineering for treating pressure injuries, emphasizing their potential as alternative therapeutic ...
KEY FINDING: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) promote pressure ulcer healing by promoting adipogenic differentiation and regeneration of the skin's architecture in both young and old mice.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2024 • January 1, 2024
The study compared conventional surgery and bone marrow mononuclear cell infusion-infiltration for treating pressure injuries (PIs) in spinal cord injured patients over a 14-year period. Initial resul...
KEY FINDING: There were no significant differences in ulcer healing between conventional surgery and cell therapy in the first 6 months.
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 2023 • February 7, 2022
Ischemic damage to the central nervous system (CNS) is a catastrophic postoperative complication of aortic occlusion subsequent to cardiovascular surgery that can cause brain impairment and sometimes ...
KEY FINDING: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal and can differentiate into any type of cell and exhibit immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair properties.
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 • February 28, 2022
This study aimed to analyze the differentially expressed genes between rostral and caudal sites after injury to determine the biological processes in these two segments after SCI. The results indicate...
KEY FINDING: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the rostral and caudal regions at different time points following SCI, including Col3a1, Col1a1, Dcn, Fn1, Kcnk3, and Nrg1.
