Effects of nonspecific resistance in barley genotypes obtained by cell selection by O. N. Shupletsova, S. Yu. Ogorodnikova, Ya. I. Nazarova

“…Against stressful soil backgrounds, regenerative lines induced on in vitro media with cadmium or aluminum were observed to have a low manifestation of oxidative stress symptoms, tested by the intensity of lipid peroxidation and the content of photosynthetic pigments in the leaves, which provided these genotypes with higher seed productivity (1.5–3.6 times in the number of grains, and 1.5– 3.0 times in the grain weight per plant) and adaptive advantages compared to the original genotype and regenerants induced on an in vitro medium with water deficiency. …”

Cryopreserved Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Show Comparable Effects to Un-Cryopreserved Cells in Treating Osteoarthritis by Bo Yan, Huixin Chen, Li Yan, Qiang Yuan, Le Guo

“…In vitro, C-CFM and UC-CM promoted the proliferation of chondrocytes, improved the expression of anabolism-related molecules ( Col2 , COL2, and SOX9), and decreased the expression of catabolism-related molecules ( Adamts5 , Mmp13 , Il6 , COL10, and MMP13). These results indicated that UC-MSCs and C-MSCs had comparable anti-OA effects, and cryopreservation did not alter the anti-OA capability of hucMSCs, which provides further support for clinical use of C-MSCs in treating OA.…”
