Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to significant destruction of nerve tissue, causing the degeneration of axons and the formation of cystic cavities. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) cultured in a serum-free conditioned medium (CM) and assess their effectiveness in a well-established hemitransection SCI model.

Materials And Methods: In this study, HUCMSCs cultured medium was collected and characterized by measuring IL-10 and identifying proteomics using mass spectroscopy.

The present study emphasizes the role of engineered protein (gallic acid engineered gelatin [GEG]) on the closure of wound gaps of different shapes assessed under in vitro (fibroblast cell line) and in vivo (rat) experimental models. Circular, triangle, rectangle, and square are the shapes selected for the study. Intending engineered protein (GEG) augments the cell migration in rectangle and triangle shapes and reduces the gap space significantly compared with circular and square shapes.

Present study describes the synthesis of carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) from the native guar gum (GG) and the prepared CMGG is grafted with ethylenediamine (EDA) to form aminated CMGG. Then, fish scale collagen and aminated CMGG are cross-linked by ceftazidime drug through non- covalent ionic interaction. The resultant cross-linked film is subjected to the analysis of (1)HNMR, ATR-FTIR, TGA, SEM and XRD.

The success of regeneration attempt is based on an ideal combination of stem cells, scaffolding and growth factors. Tissue constructs help to maintain stem cells in a required area for a desired time. There is a need for easily obtainable cells, potentially autologous stem cells and a biologically acceptable scaffold for use in humans in different difficult situations.
