We studied the possibility of population of macroporous agarose cryogel sponges by mesenchymal stromal bone marrow cells with their subsequent adipogenic differentiation. After 7-day culturing of mesenchymal stromal cells in agarose cryogel, the level of cell proliferation was 35%. After 3-week culturing in a medium inducing adipogenesis we observed accumulation of intracellular neutral lipids positively stained with Oil Red O. These findings can be used for the development of bioengineering constructions of the adipose tissue on the basis of spongy carriers.

Netrin-1 (NTN1) is a laminin-related secreted protein involved in axon guidance and cell migration. Previous research has established a significant connection between NTN1 and nervous system development. In recent years, mounting evidence indicates that NTN1 also plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.

Mesenchymal stromal cells are multipotent cells present in various tissues that are widely studied for relevant therapeutic potential due to their paracrine immunomodulatory and tissue regenerating properties. Many mesenchymal stromal cell-based products are under investigation for the treatment of different clinical conditions. Recently, the therapeutic potential of the extracellular vesicles released by these cells has been under focus, with emphasis on clinical translation.

Epiregulin plays a role in a range of biological activities including malignancies. This study aims to investigate the potential contribution of epiregulin to bone cell differentiation and bone homeostasis. The data showed that epiregulin expression was upregulated during osteogenesis but downregulated during adipogenesis.

Phytochemicals, which are bioactive compounds contained in fruits, vegetables, and teas, have a positive effect on human health by having anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticarcinogenic effects. Several studies have highlighted the ability of bioactive compounds to activate key cellular enzymes associated with important signaling pathways related to cell division and proliferation, as well as their role in inflammatory and immunological responses. Some phytochemicals are associated with increased proliferation, differentiation, and expression of markers related to osteogenesis, bone formation, and mineralization by activating various signaling pathways.

The immune-modulatory effects of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders, with indoleamine 2,4-dioxygenase-1 (IDO-1) playing a pivotal role in suppressing stimulated T-cell proliferation. Taking that three-dimensional (3D) cultures enhance MSCs' anti-inflammatory properties compared with two-dimensional (2D) cultures, the differentially expressed miRNAs were examined. Thus, we identified hsa-miR-4662a-5p (miR-4662a) as a key inducer of IDO-1 via its suppression of bridging integrator-1 (BIN-1), a negative regulator of the IDO-1 gene.
