Over the past years, stem cell technology was heralded as a significant breakthrough of the century in scrutinizing the intricacies of human body biology and discovering different therapeutic approaches. Recently, adipose tissue, as a suitable source of harvesting mesenchymal stem cells, has attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into different types of cells such as adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts. Adipose tissue, especially brown type, is considered an attractive cell source for various therapeutic purposes, such as restoring damaged tissue or fighting against diseases such as obesity. The growth of importance of stem cell applications in regenerative medicine has highlighted the need to seek appropriate mesenchymal stem cells sources. Recently, in the light of many efforts in the field of regenerative medicine, mice have gained increasing interest as a suitable source of adipose tissue for the extraction of mesenchymal stem cells, which can be used in the preclinical investigations in order to aid in the treatment of many human diseases.

Objective: This study aims to explore the potential role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), particularly the function of the NOTCH1 signaling pathway in maintaining the stemness of MSCs and in chondrocyte differentiation.
Methods: Utilizing diverse analytical techniques on an osteoarthritis dataset, we unveil distinct gene expression patterns and regulatory relationships, shedding light on potential mechanisms underlying the disease. Techniques used include the culture of MSCs, induction of differentiation into chondrocytes, establishment of stable cell lines, Western Blot, and immunofluorescence.

The mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secretome plays a pivotal role in shaping the tumor microenvironment, influencing both cancer progression and potential therapeutic outcomes. In this research, by using publicly available dataset GSE196312, we investigated the role of MSC secretome on breast cancer cell gene expression. Our results raveled differentially expressed genes, including the upregulation of Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-Trisphosphate Dependent Rac Exchange Factor 1 (PREX1), C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 28 (CCL28), and downregulation of Collagen Type I Alpha 1 Chain (COL1A1), Collagen Type I Alpha 3 Chain (COL1A3), Collagen Type III Alpha 1 Chain (COL3A1), which contributing to extra cellular matrix (ECM) weakening and promoting cell migration.

Lateral Meningocele Syndrome (LMS), a disorder associated with NOTCH3 pathogenic variants, presents with neurological, craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. Mouse models of the disease exhibit osteopenia that is ameliorated by the administration of Notch3 antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) targeting either Notch3 or the Notch3 mutation. To determine the consequences of LMS pathogenic variants in human cells and whether they can be targeted by ASOs, induced pluripotent NCRM1 and NCRM5 stem (iPS) cells harboring a NOTCH36692-93insC insertion were created.

The sub-ventricular zone (SVZ) is the most well-characterized neurogenic area in the mammalian brain. We previously showed that in 65% of patients with glioblastoma (GBM), the SVZ is a reservoir of cancer stem-like cells that contribute to treatment resistance and the emergence of recurrence. Here, we build a single-nucleus RNA-sequencing-based microenvironment landscape of the tumor mass and the SVZ of 15 patients and two histologically normal SVZ samples as controls.
