Purpose: Cartilage repair necessitates adjunct therapies such as cell-based approaches, which commonly use MSCs and chondrocytes but is limited by the formation of fibro-hyaline cartilage. Articular cartilage-derived chondroprogenitors(CPs) offer promise in overcoming this, as they exhibit higher chondrogenic and lower hypertrophic phenotypes. The study aimed to compare the efficacy of various cell types derived from adult and foetal cartilage suspended in platelet-rich plasma(PRP) in repairing chondral defects in an Ex-vivo Osteochondral Unit(OCU) model.

In regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown their importance and potential in tissue reconstruction and immune system modification. However, such cells' potential is often diminished by factors such as oxidative stress, immune rejection, and inadequate engraftment. This review highlights the role of molecular hydrogen (H) and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) as adjunct therapies to improve the effectiveness of MSC therapy.

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease caused by the overwhelming response to pathogen infections. Currently, treatment options for sepsis are limited to broad-spectrum antibiotics and supportive care. However, the growing resistance of pathogens to common antibiotics complicates treatment efforts.

Background: Kidney fibrosis is a hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and compromises the viability of transplanted human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs). Hence, BM-MSCs were genetically-engineered to express the anti-fibrotic and renoprotective hormone, human relaxin-2 (RLX) and green fluorescent protein (BM-MSCs-eRLX + GFP), which enabled BM-MSCs-eRLX + GFP delivery via a single intravenous injection.
Methods: BM-MSCs were lentiviral-transduced with human relaxin-2 cDNA and GFP, under a eukaryotic translation elongation factor-1α promoter (BM-MSCs-eRLX + GFP) or GFP alone (BM-MSCs-eGFP).

Current clinical interventions for stroke majorly involve thrombolysis or thrombectomy, however, cessation of the progressive deleterious cellular cascades post-stroke and long-term neuroprotection are yet to be explored. Mitochondria are highly vulnerable organelles and their dysfunction is one of the detrimental consequences following stroke. Mitochondria dysregulation activate unfavourable cellular events over a period of time that leads to the collapse of neuronal machinery in the brain.
