Transcription suppressor Musculin (MSC) is enriched in pro-inflammatory Th17 and IL-22-producing ILC3s. While MSC mice survived DSS-induced colitis, MSC mice showed elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines with severer pathology, reduced body weight, and earlier death. Reversal of colitis symptoms in MSC mice by IL-22 antagonism suggests the existence of MSC:IL-22 regulatory axis.

Mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium improves hypoxic injury to protect islet graft function.

Objectives: Islet transplantation is one of the most promising curative methods for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but early hypoxic death of the graft post-transplantation impedes successful treatment. To improve the efficacy of islet transplantation and enhance islet cell resistance to hypoxia, reducing hypoxic injury before revascularization is crucial. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to regulate immune responses and protect against hypoxic damage through paracrine mechanisms.

Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and irreversible interstitial lung disease characterized by a lack of effective therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest in the realm of lung regeneration due to their abundant availability, ease of isolation, and capacity for expansion. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential therapeutic role of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in the management of PF, with a focus on the alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites during the use of UC-MSCs for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, as well as the possible mechanisms involved.

To illustrate the potential of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) in mitigating septic lung injury by reducing the excessive formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a mouse model of septic lung injury was induced through cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The mice received intraperitoneal injections of MSC-Exos. Post injection, pathological alterations of the lung tissue were evaluated through HE staining, and the levels of inflammatory markers in each mouse group at various time points were assessed using ELISA kits.

Background: As cell-free nanotherapeutics, extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have shown potential therapeutic action against liver diseases. However, their effects on autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are not yet well understood.

Methods And Results: In this study, we utilized a well-established concanavalin A (Con A)-induced fulminant hepatitis mouse model to investigate the effects of MSC-EVs on AIH.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a persistent inflammation of the digestive system, and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and their exosomes have demonstrated potential as treatments for this condition. The objective of this research was to examine the possible effectiveness of intraperitoneal injection of umbilical cord-MSCs (UC-MSCs) and their exosomes through a two-time injection regimen in a mouse model.

Method: In this study, an animal model of a specific type of IBD in C57BL/6 mice, induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), was utilized.
