The Hematopoietic Niche in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms by Annette H. Schmitt-Graeff, Roland Nitschke, Robert Zeiser

“…Specialized microanatomical areas of the bone marrow provide the signals that are mandatory for the maintenance and regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells. A complex microenvironment adjacent to the marrow vasculature (vascular niche) and close to the endosteum (endosteal niche) harbors multiple cell types including mesenchymal stromal cells and their derivatives such as CAR cells expressing high levels of chemokines C-X-C motif ligand 12 and early osteoblastic lineage cells, endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes. …”

Proteomic profiling of iPSC and tissue-derived MSC secretomes reveal a global signature of inflammatory licensing by Margeaux Hodgson-Garms, Matthew J. Moore, Mikaël M. Martino, Kilian Kelly, Jessica E. Frith

“…Understanding these differences is essential to define the mechanisms of MSC-based tissue repair and optimise cell therapies. This study analysed the secretomes of bone-marrow (BM.MSCs), umbilical-cord (UC.MSCs), adipose-tissue (AT.MSCs) and clinical/commercial-grade induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (iMSCs), under resting and inflammatory licenced conditions. iMSCs recapitulated the inflammatory licensing process, validating their comparability to tissue-derived MSCs. …”

Is PPAR𝛾 a Prospective Player in HIV-1-Associated Bone Disease? by Eoin J. Cotter, Patrick W. Mallon, Peter P. Doran

“…Interestingly, both adipocytes and osteoblasts are derived from a common precursor cell type; the mesenchymal stem cell. The possibility that dysregulation of PPAR𝛾 (and the subsequent effect on both osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis) is a contributory factor in the lipid- and bone-abnormalities observed in HIV-1 infection and treatment has also been investigated. …”

Performance of PRP Associated with Porous Chitosan as a Composite Scaffold for Regenerative Medicine by Andréa Arruda Martins Shimojo, Amanda Gomes Marcelino Perez, Sofia Elisa Moraga Galdames, Isabela Cambraia de Souza Brissac, Maria Helena Andrade Santana

“…This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro performance of activated platelet-rich plasma associated with porous sponges of chitosan as a composite scaffold for proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The sponges were prepared by controlled freezing (−20, −80, or −196°C) and lyophilization of chitosan solutions (1, 2, or 3% w/v). …”
