Oncolytic virotherapy shows promise as a cancer treatment approach; however, its systemic application is hindered by antibody neutralization. This issue can be overcome by using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as carrier cells for oncolytic viruses (OVs). However, it remains elusive whether MSC source influences the antitumor effect. Here, we demonstrate that their source affects the migration ability and oncolytic activity of OV-loaded MSCs. Among human MSCs derived from different tissues, bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMMSCs) showed a high migration ability toward cancer cells in two- and three-dimensional MSC-cancer cell co-culture models. Comprehensive gene expression and Gene Ontology-based functional analyses suggested that genes involved in cell migration and cytokine response influence the cancer-specific tropism of BMMSCs. Furthermore, MSC origin affected the susceptibility to OVs, including cytotoxicity resistance and OV release from MSCs. MSC-mediated OV delivery significantly increased the viral spread and antitumor activity compared with delivery by OVs alone, and OV-loaded BMMSCs demonstrated the most potent antitumor effect among OV-loaded MSCs. Our results offer promising insights into cancer gene therapy with carrier cells and can help with the selection of an appropriate MSC source for MSC-based OV therapy.

Bone tissue regeneration can be affected by various architectonical features of 3D porous scaffold, for example, pore size and shape, strut size, curvature, or porosity. However, the design of additively manufactured structures studied so far was based on uniform geometrical figures and unit cell structures, which often do not resemble the natural architecture of cancellous bone. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of architectonical features of additively manufactured (aka 3D printed) titanium scaffolds designed based on microtomographic scans of fragments of human femurs of individuals of different ages on in vitro response of human bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC).

Unlabelled: Cartilage and joint damage can lead to cartilage degeneration. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the potential to address cartilage damage. Hence, this study probed the mechanism of BMSC-extracellular matrix (BMSC-ECM) in promoting damaged chondrocyte repair by regulating the Notch1/RBPJ pathway.

Chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis and liver failure, remain formidable challenges due to their complex progression and limited therapeutic options. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has emerged as a game-changing approach, leveraging its potent immunomodulatory, anti-fibrotic, and regenerative capabilities, along with the ability to transdifferentiate into hepatocytes. This review delves into the latest advances in MSC-based treatments for chronic and end-stage liver diseases, as highlighted in current clinical trials.

Bone defects present a significant challenge in orthopedics and trauma surgery, necessitating innovative approaches to stimulate effective bone regeneration. This study investigated the potential of lithium-doped calcium silicate (LiCS) cement to enhance bone regeneration and modulate the immune microenvironment to promote tissue repair. We synthesized a LiCS ceramic powder and performed comprehensive analyses of its physicochemical properties, including phase composition, morphology, setting time, and mechanical strength.

Reprogramming of T cells was carried out using a MEK inhibitor and a PD-1 blocker; the targeting of rT cells to tumor cells was achieved by preincubation with LLC cell lysate. It was shown that the antitumor effect of rT cells was based on apoptosis of tumor cells.
