Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) has a remarkable ability to persist inside host cells. Several studies showed that M. tb infects and survives inside bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) escaping the host immune system. Here, we have identified various cellular pathways that are modulated in human BM-MSCs upon infection with virulent M. tb and the proteomic profile of these cells varies from that of avirulent M. tb infected cells. We found that virulent M. tb infection reshapes host pathways such as stem cell differentiation, alternative splicing, cytokine production, mitochondrial function etc., which might be modulated by M. tb to persist inside this unconventional niche of human BM-MSCs. Additionally, we observed that virulent M. tb infection suppresses various cellular processes. This study uncovers the differences in the host proteomic profiles resulting from the virulent versus avirulent M. tb infection that can pave the way to identify host-directed therapeutic targets for the treatment of tuberculosis.

The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is closely related to aging and degenerative diseases. Curcumin exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and has been extensively used in anti-cancer and anti-aging applications. Studies have shown that curcumin can promote osteogenic differentiation, autophagy and proliferation of MSCs.

Treatment of complex craniofacial deformities is still a challenge for medicine and dentistry because few approach therapies are available on the market that allow rehabilitation using 3D-printed medical devices. Thus, this study aims to create a scaffold with a morphology that simulates bone tissue, able to create a favorable environment for the development and differentiation of osteogenic cells. Moreover, its association with Plenum Guide, through cell-based tissue engineering (ASCs) for guided bone regeneration in critical rat calvarial defects.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. The inadequate understanding of MSCs and their heterogeneity can impact the immune environment, which may be the cause of the good outcomes of MSCs-based therapy that cannot always be achieved. Recently, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) showed great potential in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases due to their immature properties compared with MSCs.

Background: Complex perianal fistulas, challenging to treat and prone to recurrence, often require surgical intervention that may cause fecal incontinence and lower quality of life due to large surgical wounds and potential sphincter damage. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) and their exosomes (hUCMSCs-Exo) may promote wound healing.
Methods: This study assessed the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of these exosomes in treating complex perianal fistulas in SD rats.

Background: Promoting muscle regeneration through stem cell therapy has potential risks. We investigated the effect of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) Exosomes (Exo) Follistatin on muscle regeneration.
Methods: The Exo was derived from UMSCs cells and was utilized to affect the mice muscle injury model and C2C12 cells myotubes atrophy model.
