Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Transplantation May Enhance or Inhibit 4T1 Murine Breast Adenocarcinoma through Different Approaches by T. Jazedje, A. L. Ribeiro, M. Pellati, H. M. de Siqueira Bueno, G. Nagata, M. Trierveiler, E. G. Rodrigues, M. Zatz

“…In an attempt to clarify the contradictory results reported in the literature and the possible role of human fallopian tube Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (htMSCs) against breast cancer, the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of htMSCs in murine mammary adenocarcinoma using two different approaches: (1) coinjections of htMSCs and 4T1 murine tumor cell lineage and (2) injections of htMSCs in mice at the initial stage of mammary adenocarcinoma development. Coinjected animals had a more severe course of the disease and a reduced survival, while tumor-bearing animals treated with 2 intraperitoneal injections of 106 htMSCs showed significantly reduced tumor growth and increased lifespan as compared with control animals. …”

Multiplexed transcriptomic analyzes of the plant embryonic hourglass by Hao Wu, Ruqiang Zhang, Karl J. Niklas, Michael J. Scanlon

“…Transcriptomic comparisons of maize and Arabidopsis embryogenesis with that of the moss Physcomitrium patens identify an inverse hourglass pattern across plant phyla, as in animals. The data suggest that the phylotypic stages in plants and animals are characterized by expression of ancient and conserved genes during histogenesis, organization of embryonic axes, and initial morphogenesis. …”
