This study was set to explore a new strategy for repairing skin wounds, co-transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton's Jelly of the human umbilical cord (hUC-Wharton's jelly-MSCs) and microparticles. A mixture of hUC-Wharton's jelly-MSCs and microparticles was co-transplanted to 10-mm diameter, full-thickness, mid-dorsal, excisional skin wounds of mice. After 7, 14, and 21 days, the tissue sections were sampled for reconstruction analysis and histological examination. Our results showed that hUC-Wharton's jelly-MSCs possess the potentials for multi-directional differentiation. After co-transplantation, there was remarkable development of newborn skin and its appendages. Newly generated layers of epidermis, sebaceous glands, hair follicle, and sweat glands were observed. This promising innovative strategy could significantly increase the quality of repair and regeneration of skin after injuries.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as mediators of immunosuppression and pro-regenerative processes, particularly through mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) across various disease models. Despite significant progress, there is still a need for a deeper understanding of EV content and functionality to fully harness their biomedical potential. Moreover, strategies to enhance EV production for clinical scalability are still under development.

Several studies investigated the application of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating spermatogenic disorders. Considering the limitation of MSC application, the present study aimed to compare Wharton's jelly MSCs secretomes, including condition medium (CM) 10-fold concentrated (CM10), 20-fold concentrated CM (CM20), and extracellular vesicles (EVs) to restore busulfan-induced damage on male mice reproduction. So, Wharton's jelly MSCs were cultured, CM was collected, and EVs were isolated.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising for clinical studies owing to their self-renewal, multipotency, trophic, and immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the cytokine levels of human umbilical cord blood (CB) and Wharton's Jelly-(WJ) derived MSCs relevant to immune modulation on different passage levels in vitro. Umbilical CB MSCs were isolated using the ficoll-paque gradient method, and WJ-MSCs were isolated by the explant method.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different storage methods and temperatures affect the preservation of secretome from multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC-sec).
- Lyophilization was found to concentrate the MSC-sec and allowed for flexible storage, though storage at -80 °C was optimal for long-term preservation over 30 months.
- Results showed that storage at higher temperatures (4 °C and room temperature) significantly decreased key growth factors, while adding trehalose helped maintain MSC-sec quality during short-term storage.

The current first-line treatment for repairing cartilage defects in clinical practice is the creation of microfractures (MF) to stimulate the release of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); however, this method has many limitations. Recent studies have found that MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) play an important role in tissue regeneration. This study aimed to verify whether MSC-EVs promote cartilage damage repair mediated by MFs and to explore the repair mechanisms.
