Objective: To establish an cell model simulating acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) bone marrow microenvironment injury with the advantage of mouse serum of aGVHD model and explore the effect of serum of aGVHD mouse on the adipogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
Methods: The 6-8-week-old C57BL/6N female mice and BALB/c female mice were used as the donor and recipient mice of the aGVHD model, respectively. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) mouse model (=20) was established by being injected with bone marrow cells (1×10 per mouse) from donor mice within 4-6 hours after receiving a lethal dose (8.
Objective: To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of ionizing radiation on the adipogenic of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
Methods: Mouse MSCs were cultured in vitro and treated with 2 Gy and 6 Gy radiation with Co, and the radiation dose rate was 0.98 Gy/min.

Skeletal stem cells (SSC) have gained attentions as candidates for the treatment of osteoarthritis due to their osteochondrogenic capacity. However, the immunomodulatory properties of SSC, especially under delivery operations, have been largely ignored. In the study, we found that Pdpn and Grem1 SSC subpopulations owned immunoregulatory potential, and the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data suggested that the mechanical activation of microgel carriers on SSC induced the generation of PdpnGrem1Ptgs2 SSC subpopulation, which was potent at suppressing macrophage inflammation.

This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of exogenous skeletal stem cells (SSCs) on the necroptosis of subchondral osteoblasts in OA. Human SSCs and subchondral osteoblasts isolated from human tibia plateaus were used for Western blotting, real-time PCR, RNA sequencing, gene editing, and necroptosis detection assays.

The purpose of this study was to study the therapeutic mechanism of Liangxue-Guyuan-Yishen decoction (LGYD) on GI-ARS and to provide a new scheme for the treatment of radiation injury. Here, we investigated the effects of LGYD on intestinal stem cells (ISCs) in a GI-ARS rat model.

Objective: To establish an intestinal organoid model that mimic acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) caused intestinal injuries by using aGVHD murine model serum and organoid culture system, and explore the changes of aGVHD intestine in vitro by advantage of organoid technology.
Methods: 20-22 g female C57BL/6 mice and 20-22 g female BALB/c mice were used as donors and recipients for bone marrow transplantation, respectively. Within 4-6 h after receiving a lethal dose (8.
Although various reconstruction techniques are available for cartilage defects, the repair effects and conveniences remain to be further improved due to the limited regenerative capacity of cartilaginous tissues and difficulties in seamlessly fulfilling irregularly shaped defects. In the current study, we explored the repair efficacy of stem cell microcarrier construct (microcarriers loaded with human chondrogenic progenitor cells or bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) in cartilage defect models. A total of 39 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were included, and femoral trochlear cartilage defect models were established (n = 33).

Psoralen is a principal bioactive component of Cullen corylifolium (L.) Medik and has been reported to have antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and pro-osteogenesis activities.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common degenerative disorders in joints and is characterized by gradual and irreversible cartilaginous tissue damage. Notably, immune factors were newly identified to be closely related to OA development.

In this study, we explored radiation-induced skeletal stem cell (SSC) stemness impairments and rescuing effects of ferulic acid (FA) on SSCs in vitro and in vivo. The immunophenotype, cell renewal, cell proliferation, and differentiation of SSCs in vitro after irradiation were investigated.
