Context: Multipotent stromal cells are isolated from various fetal sources and studied for their phenotypic characterization and ability to differentiate into different lineages.

Aims: In this study, we aimed to isolate mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) from villous chorion, expand under clinical scale level, compared the potency with other source of fetal-derived MSCs and studied their differentiation capabilities to form all three germ layers.

Subjects And Methods: Placenta obtained from C-section was used to isolate villous chorion-MSCs (VC-MSCs) were expanded up to tenth passage and their characteristics were assessed by proliferation rate and phenotypic characterization using fluorescence-activated cell sorting and also expanded MSCs were analyzed for differentiated into all three germ layers by cytochemical staining.

Results: Stem cell isolated from VC yielded up to 2.16 × 10 cells at second passage and 3.06-4.23 × 10 cells/cm at tenth passage. The total yield of cells with all three sources analysis showed that VC has a low yield at second passage compared to amniotic membrane and Wharton's jelly, but the VC-MSCs yield significant amount in lesser days. The phenotypic characterization revealed positive for CD73, CD90, and CD105 and negative for CD79, CD34, CD45, human leukocyte antigen-DR proving their stemness even at tenth passage. They can able to differentiate into ectodermic neural cells, endodermic hepatocytes, and mesodermal differentiation of chondrocytes, adipocytes, and osteogenic cells proving their ability to differentiate into all three germ layers.

Conclusions: This result suggests that the VC-MSCs are ideal source of stem cells with similar characteristics such as other adult stem cells. Thus, VC-derived MSCs can be potential clinical source in regenerative medicine.

Background: The progression and severity of periodontitis (PD) are associated with the release of extracellular vesicles by periodontal tissue cells. However, the precise mechanisms through which exosome-related genes (ERGs) influence PD remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanisms of key exosome-related genes in PD using transcriptome profiling at the single-cell level.

FoxP3 T-regulatory (Treg) lymphocytes and cytokine production by cells from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of epicardial (EAT) and thymus (TAT) adipose tissue of 42 patients with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) were studied. In the SVF of TAT in patients with Gensini Score (GS)≥74 (the most severe atherosclerosis), the production of IL-1β, TNF, IL-4, and IFNγ was higher, while FoxP3 translocation into the nucleus was lower than in patients with GS<74. The GS index directly correlated with the production of IL-4, IL-1β, and TNF by cells of the SVF of TAT, and inversely - with the production of TNF, IL-17, and IL-10 by cells of the SVF of EAT.

Innovative Mechanical Processing of Adipose Tissue: A Comparative Evaluation of Microfat and Concentrated Micronized Fat for Superficial Fat Grafting.

Department of Body Contouring and Fat grafting Center, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, No 33 Badachu Road, Shijingshan District, 100144, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

Background: Superficial autologous fat grafting is widely used for facial rejuvenation and regenerative treatments, yet its retention rate remains unpredictable. Enhancing the concentration of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) has been shown to improve graft retention. Mechanical fat processing techniques can reduce fat granules size for superficial injection as well as elevate the concentration of ASCs.

ALKBH5 promotes autophagy and progression by mediating m6A methylation of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 in endometriosis.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification have recently been suggested as potential functional modulators in ovarian endometriosis, however, the function and mechanism of m6A-modified lncRNA in ovarian endometriosis remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA UBOX5-AS1 expression was significantly elevated in ovarian endometriosis tissue and primary ectopic endometrial stromal cells. The expression of lncRNA UBOX5-AS1, which has m6A modifications, was highly positively correlated with demethylase Alk B homologous protein 5 (ALKBH5) expression and autophagy.

Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is a common hip joint disease that imposes a heavy economic burden on society. Patients continue to experience bone necrosis even after discontinuing glucocorticoid therapy, and the specific mechanisms require further investigation. The results of this study demonstrate that exosomes secreted by damaged vascular endothelial cells in SANFH lesions may be a crucial factor leading to abnormal adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).
