Background: Results from recent clinical trials on bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) transplantation show that this intervention can help reduce the incidence of heart failure (HF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, no study has evaluated the effect of the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on a clinical endpoint such as HF.
Methods: This single-blinded, randomized, multicenter trial aims to establish whether the intracoronary infusion of umbilical cord-derived Wharton's jelly MSCs (WJ-MSCs) helps prevent HF development after AMI. The study will enroll 390 patients 3 to 7 days following AMI. Only patients aged below 65 years with impaired LV function (LVEF < 40%) will be included. They will be randomized (2:1 ratio) to either receive standard care or a single intracoronary infusion of 10 WJ-MSCs. The primary outcome of this study is the assessment of HF development during long-term follow-up (3 years).
Discussion: Data will be collected until Nov 2024. Thereafter, the analysis will be conducted. Results are expected to be ready by Dec 2024. We will prepare and submit the related manuscript following the CONSORT guidelines. This study will help determine whether or not the infusion of intracoronary WJ-MSCs in patients with AMI will reduce the incidence of AMI-induced HF.

Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is an important biomaterial for tissue defect repair, but its application in replacing missing brain tissue needs improvement. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used to treat various neurological diseases, but they face challenges when filling large tissue defects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of PLGA combined with MSCs transplantation on brain structure and neural function in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and explore its possible mechanism.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by altered levels of inflammatory cytokines. One of the key cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of RA is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), which plays a crucial role in the differentiation of T cells and B cells and serves as a primary trigger of inflammation and joint damage in RA. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have shown potential in alleviating the symptoms of RA.

Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent disease worldwide that seriously affects people's oral health, including gingivitis and periodontitis. Although the current treatment of periodontal disease can achieve good control of inflammation, it is difficult to regenerate the periodontal supporting tissues to achieve a satisfactory therapeutic effect. In recent years, due to the good tissue regeneration ability, the research on Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived exosomes has been gradually deepened, especially its ability to interact with the microenvironment of the body in the complex immunoregulatory network, which has led to many new perspectives on the therapeutic strategies for many diseases.

Introduction: Acute encephalopathy (AE) in childhood due to a viral infection causes convulsions and altered consciousness, leading to severe sequelae and death. Among the four types of AE, cytokine storm-induced AE is the most severe and causes serious damage to the brain. Moreover, a fundamental treatment for AE has not been established yet.

This study evaluated the efficacy of tubular constructs containing stem cells and Type I collagen, both independently and in conjunction with low-level laser therapy (LLLT), in repairing the sciatic nerve in a rat model. In this animal study, the right sciatic nerve of 30 male Wistar rats, each weighing 250-300 g, was surgically excised to a length of 8 mm. The rats were then randomly allocated to three groups (n = 10 per group).
