Background/Objectives: Cartilage injuries and osteoarthritis are prevalent public health problems, due to their disabling nature economic impact. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from different tissues have the immunomodulatory capacity regulate local joint environment. This translational study aims compare cartilage restoration MSCs synovial membrane (SM) dental pulp (DP) by a tissue-engineered construct with Good Manufacturing Practices. Methods: A controlled experimental was conducted on fourteen miniature pigs, using scaffold-free Tissue Engineering Constructs (TECs) DP SM MSCs, 6-month follow-up. Total thickness defects were created in both hind knees; one side left untreated other received TEC either (n = 7) or 7). An MRI assessed morphology MOCART scoring system, T2 mapping evaluated water, collagen fiber composition, histological analysis performed ICRS-2 score. Results: The group had mean value of 46.2 ± 13.4, while SM-treated 65.7 15.5 (p < 0.05) DP-treated 59.0 7.9 (n.s.). indicated 54.9 1.9 for native cartilage, at 50.9 2.4 0.05).

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a common and multidimensional devastating interstitial lung disease. The development of novel more effective interventions for PF an urgent clinical need. A previous study has found that miR-181a-5p plays important role in the PF, human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) exert potent therapeutic potential on PF. However, whether hAMSCs act by delivering its detailed mechanism still remain unknown. Thus, this was designed to investigate underlying possible bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, co-culture system A549 epithelial transition (EMT) focusing effects collagen deposition, EMT, cell cycle regulation. with different expression levels were constructed.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), is characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration, leading to diverse clinical manifestations such as fatigue, sensory impairment, cognitive dysfunction. Current pharmacological treatments primarily target immune modulation but fail arrest disease progression or entirely reverse CNS damage. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy offers promising alternative, leveraging its immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, regenerative capabilities. This review provides an in-depth analysis MSC mechanisms action, including regulation, promotion remyelination, neuroregeneration. It examines preclinical studies trials evaluating efficacy, safety, limitations in various MS phenotypes. Special attention given challenges delivery routes, dosing regimens, integrating MSCs with conventional therapies. By highlighting advancements ongoing challenges, this underscores potential revolutionize treatment, paving way for personalized combinatory therapeutic approaches.

Our findings indicate that expression significantly increases during Furthermore, hindered, whereas its enhanced, Mechanistically, influences MSC activating YAP1-TEAD1 pathway. It enhances YAP1 not only stabilising mRNA but also, crucially, recruiting eIF4F complex, thereby boosting translation efficiency mRNA. Additionally, YAP1/TEAD1 complex transcriptionally regulates expression, creating a positive feedback loop amplifies differentiation.
