Published: August 2007

Manufacturing a therapeutic cell-based product from a stem cell source is far from simple. Regulatory authorities expect that the donor source of the stem cells is appropriately screened and tested for human pathogens. All of the synthetic or animal-derived ancillary materials must be appropriately qualified and tested before use in clinical manufacturing. The manufacturing process used to generate the therapeutic cells from the stem cells must be aseptic, consistent, and scalable. Finally, a robust quality program is necessary to ensure that appropriate quality procedures for the manufacturing process are in place and a quality assurance function that verifies the intended therapeutic cellular product has been prepared in a manner that is compliant with all regulatory expectations for clinical use in patients. This chapter discusses regulatory issues for manufacturing of therapeutic cells derived from stem cells and provides approaches for successfully addressing them.

Objective: Within the scope of this research, the long-term effects of experimental blunt head trauma on immature rats and MK-801 administered acutely after trauma on the brain tissue will be examined. In addition, the impact of trauma and MK-801 on Nestin and CD133, which are essential stem cells, will be evaluated by immunohistochemical and ELISA methods.

Methods: In this study, the contusion trauma model was used.

Advances in liver organoids: replicating hepatic complexity for toxicity assessment and disease modeling.

The lack of in vivo accurate human liver models hinders the investigation of liver-related diseases, injuries, and drug-related toxicity, posing challenges for both basic research and clinical applications. Traditional cellular and animal models, while widely used, have significant limitations in replicating the liver's complex responses to various stressors. Liver organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells, adult stem cells primary cells, or tissues can mimic diverse liver cell types, major physiological functions, and architectural features.

Introduction: Effects of Dapagliflozin (Dapa) and Dapagliflozin-Saxagliptin combination (Combo) was examined on peripheral blood derived CD34 + Hematopoetic Stem Cells (HSCs) as a cellular CVD biomarker. Both Dapa (a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 or SGLT2, receptor inhibitor) and Saxagliptin (a Di-peptydl-peptidase-4 or DPP4 enzyme inhibitor) are commonly used type 2 diabetes mellitus or T2DM medications, however the benefit of using the combination has not been evaluated for cardio-renal risk assessment, in a real-life practice setting, compared to a placebo.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that Dapa will improve the outcomes when compared to placebo and the Combo maybe even more beneficial.

Semaphorin-4D signaling in recruiting dental stem cells for vascular stabilization.

Stem Cell Res Ther

January 2025

Applied Oral Sciences and Community Dental Care, Faculty of Dentistry, Prince Philip Dental Hospital, The University of Hong Kong, 34 Hospital Road, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR.

Background: Achieving a stable vasculature is crucial for tissue regeneration. Endothelial cells initiate vascular morphogenesis, followed by mural cells that stabilize new vessels. This study investigated the in vivo effects of Sema4D-Plexin-B1 signaling on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED)-supported angiogenesis, focusing on its mechanism in PDGF-BB secretion.

Diabetic wounds are characterized by chronic inflammation, reduced angiogenesis, and insufficient collagen deposition, leading to impaired healing. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC) offer a promising cell-free therapeutic strategy, yet their efficacy and immunomodulation can be enhanced through bioactivation. In this study, we developed calcium silicate (CS)-stimulated ADSC-derived EVs (CSEV) incorporated into collagen hydrogels to create a sustained-release system for promoting diabetic wound healing.
