Background: Cell transplantation has been widely recognized as a curative treatment strategy for variety of diseases including type I diabetes (T1D). Broader patient inclusion for this therapeutic option is restricted by a limited supply of healthy human islet donors and significant loss of islets immediately postintrahepatic transplant due to immune activation. Neonatal porcine islets (NPIs) are a potential ubiquitous β-cell source for treating T1D. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the inherent capacity to secrete immunoregulatory, anti-inflammatory, and proangiogenic factors and, thus, have the potential to improve islet engraftment, survival, and function.
Methods: Herein, we assessed the effect of human adipose-derived MSCs (AdMSCs) on NPI metabolic outcomes in diabetic mice when co-transplanted within the prevascularized subcutaneous deviceless (DL) space or kidney capsule (KC). Graft function has been evaluated by weekly blood glucose, stimulated porcine insulin, glucose tolerance, and total cellular graft insulin content.
Results: Compared with NPI alone, co-transplantation of NPIs and AdMSCs resulted in significantly earlier normoglycemia (*P < .05), improved glucose tolerance (*P < .05), superior stimulated serum porcine insulin (**P < .01), and increased graft insulin content (*P < .05) in the DL site and not the KC.
Conclusions: Thus, our study demonstrates that co-transplantation of human AdMSCs with NPIs is an effective tactic to augment islet xenograft function in a clinically relevant extrahepatic site.

Diabetic wounds present a significant challenge in regenerative medicine due to impaired healing, characterized by prolonged inflammation and deficient tissue repair, primarily caused by a skewed pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of interleukin-10 (IL-10) chemically modified mRNA (modRNA)-enriched human adipose-derived multipotent stromal cells (hADSCs) in a well-established murine model of diabetic wounds. The modRNAs used in this study were chemically modified using N1-methylpseudouridine-5'-triphosphate (m1Ψ) by substituting uridine-5-triphosphate.

Drug resistance is a significant challenge in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where stromal elements such as adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) contribute to a chemoresistant tumor microenvironment (TME). This study explored the effects of oxaliplatin (OXP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on PDAC cells (Capan-1) and ASCs to investigate the mechanisms of chemoresistance. While OXP and 5-FU reduced Capan-1 viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, ASCs demonstrated high resistance, maintaining > 90% viability even at cytotoxic doses.

MicroRNAs play a pivotal role in the regulation of adipose tissue function and have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates for the management of obesity and associated comorbidities. Among them, miR-1 could be a potential biomarker for metabolic diseases and contribute to metabolic homeostasis. However, thorough research is required to fully elucidate the impact of miR-1 on human adipocyte thermogenesis and metabolism.

Chronic hard-to-heal wounds pose a significant threat to patients' health and quality of life, and their clinical management remains a challenge. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) have shown promising results in promoting diabetic wound healing. However, effectively enhancing the retention of exosomes in wounds for treatment remains a key issue that needs to be addressed.

This study describes the potential of the conditioned medium (CM) from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) to affect the response of bone cells and support bone remodeling. This was in particular assessed by an in vitro model represented by a 3D human osteoblast-osteoclast co-culture. It has been reported that the effects of ASCs are predominantly attributable to the paracrine effects of their secreted factors, that are present as soluble factors or loaded into extracellular vesicles.
