Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC) are being extensively used in both oncology-haematology and in solid tumor therapy schedules. The latest generation of cell separators allow the collection of greater numbers of nucleated cells (NC) than is usually obtained in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) settings. Thus, larger volumes of components would be stored if the same NC concentration employed in BMT is to be used. In order to reduce large volume DMSO-infusion related side effects and to avoid storage problems, we froze components from 23 PBSC collections at higher NC concentrations, from 40-200 x 10(6)/mL. After 2-12 months of storage, we thawed the samples and determined if the high NC concentration had a detrimental effect on NC viability and on stem cell clonogenicity. No statistically significant differences emerged in regard to CFU-GM, CFU-GEMM and BFU-E percent recovery even at 200 x 10(6)/mL NC concentration.

Stereocaulon alpinum has been found to have potential pharmaceutical properties due to the presence of secondary metabolites such as usnic acid, atranorin, and lobaric acid (LA) which have anticancer activity. On the other hand, the effect of LA on the stemness potential of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells remains unexplored, and has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we examined the inhibitory activity of LA from Stereocaulon alpinum against the stemness potential of CRC cells and investigated the possible underlying mechanisms.

Non-cryo and hypothermic preservations are two available options for short-term storage of living cells. For long-term cell storage, cryopreservation is an essential procedure as it prolongs the storage time, allowing for the transport and testing of cells, as well as the establishment of cell banks. But it is unclear whether cryopreservation reduces the therapeutic effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) on osteoarthritis (OA).

Background/purpose: Revascularization procedures are used over apexification to treat teeth with necrotic pulp tissues and incomplete root formation. Clinically, inducing proliferation, migration, matrix deposition, and differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) are critical for pulp regeneration. The study aimed to elucidate the impact of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) on plasminogen activation molecules and the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of SCAPs, as well as understand the related signaling mechanisms.

Background/purpose: Membrane-free stem cell components (MFSCCs) have been developed by removing cell membranes with antigens to overcome the limitations associated with cell-based therapies and isolate effective peptides. MFSCCs have been reported to have effects on oral infection sites. Chronic inflammatory diseases cause excessive bone resorption.
