Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer a great promise for regenerative medicine. Present study compared the characterization of porcine MSCs (pMSCs) derived from bone marrow extract with adult ear and fetal skin-derived cells on morphology, cell growth, alkaline phosphatase activity, proliferation ability, expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers (CD29, 45, and 90), cell cycle, protein and mRNA levels of Oct-4, Sox-2, and Nanog, and lineage differentiation ability. Skin-derived cells exhibited alkaline phosphatase activity and differentiation ability like pMSCs. pMSCs possessed a longer doubling time than skin-derived cells, and there was no difference in the ratio of G0/G1 phase between pMSCs and skin-derived cells. Except for CD29 and 90, all cells were found negative for CD45. Protein and mRNA expression of Oct-4, Sox-2 and Nanog were observed with similar intensity in all cells. Taken together, pMSCs and skin-derived cells revealed similar characteristics, and suggested the possible supportive role of skin-derived cells with MSCs for the regeneration of damaged tissues in cell-based therapies.

Background: Several studies have evaluated different cell cycle synchronization methods to improve reprogramming efficiency aimed at wild species conservation. The six-banded armadillo is one of the wild mammals with significant ecological and biomedical interests but has not yet been evaluated for reprogramming purposes.

Objective: We investigated the effects in a time-dependent manner of serum starvation (SS; 0.

Peripheral nerve injury poses a significant challenge to the nervous system's regenerative capacity. We previously described a novel approach to construct a chitosan/silk fibroin nerve graft with skin-derived precursor-induced Schwann cells (SKP-SCs). This graft has been shown to promote sciatic nerve regeneration and functional restoration to a level comparable to that achieved by autologous nerve grafts, as evidenced by behavioral, histological, and electrophysiological assessments.

Preserving the viability and functionality of stem cells during cryopreservation is crucial for their successful application in regenerative medicine. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on reducing the apoptosis of cryopreserved porcine skin-derived stem cells (pSDSCs). Our findings revealed that LPA, at a concentration of 5 μM, significantly improved viability and reduced apoptosis in cryopreserved pSDSCs.

Skin-derived precursor (SKPs) cells are multipotent stem cells found in the dermis that contribute to wound healing and induce hair follicle neogenesis when transplanted. The clinical application of adult human SKPs, however, is hindered by their loss of potency after in vitro expansion. To overcome this challenge, we aimed to isolate SKPs from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids (SKOs), to enable mass production of these cells for therapeutics.

Article Synopsis
  • The skin has a complex network of nerves and receptors that play a crucial role in wound healing through the release of neuropeptides.
  • These neuropeptides contribute to the early inflammatory response and regulate immune and repair cells, but their specific mechanisms in wound healing remain unclear.
  • Further research on the role of neuropeptides could lead to innovative treatment strategies, such as new dressings and therapies, to enhance healing processes.
