A Comparative Study on the Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Conditioned Medium on Caco-2 Cells as an In Vitro Model for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Recent research indicates that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious properties, could be a promising alternative for treating inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study examined how MSCs and their derivatives, when cocultured with interleukin-1 (IL-1)-stimulated Caco-2 cells, affect the expression of genes related to inflammation, microbes, and apoptosis. In the experiment, Caco-2 cells were exposed to 10 ng/mL of IL-1 for 24 h.

Exosomes of mesenchymal stem cells and PRP restore spermatogenesis in the rat model of non-obstructive azoospermia.

In Brief: Since available therapeutic approaches for chemotherapy-induced non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients are not enough efficient, an urgent need for treatment alternatives is felt. This study shows that adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosome (AD-Exo) treatment is more effective in ameliorating busulfan-induced NOA rat models compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Abstract: Patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) are unable to have their children.

Recent advances in developing 3D culture systems of spermatogonial stem cell preservation and differentiation: A narrative review.

Male infertility has received vast attention in recent years and has no clear etiology in almost 40% of cases. Several methods have been suggested for preserving sperm and spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in both in vivo and in vitro conditions. The efficacy of these methods is related to their abilities, including providing an optimal environment for sperm preservation and long-term SSC culture for in vivo and in vitro differentiation of these cells.

Evaluating the effect of conditioned medium from mesenchymal stem cells on differentiation of rat spermatogonial stem cells.

In cancer patients, chemo/radio therapy may cause infertility by damaging the spermatogenesis affecting the self-renewal and differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). differentiation of stem cells especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into germ cells has recently been proposed as a new strategy for infertility treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proliferation and differentiation of SSCs using their co-culture with Sertoli cells and conditioned medium (CM) from adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs).
