Article Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that causes pain, cartilage deformation, and joint inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are potential therapeutic agents for OA treatment. However, the 2D culture of MSCs could potentially affect their characteristics and functionality. In this study, calcium-alginate (Ca-Ag) scaffolds were prepared for human adipose-derived stem cell (hADSC) proliferation with a homemade functionally closed process bioreactor system; the feasibility of cultured hADSC spheres in heterologous stem cell therapy for OA treatment was then evaluated. hADSC spheres were collected from Ca-Ag scaffolds by removing calcium ions via ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelation. In this study, 2D-cultured individual hADSCs or hADSC spheres were evaluated for treatment efficacy in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced OA rat model. The results of gait analysis and histological sectioning showed that hADSC spheres were more effective at relieving arthritis degeneration. The results of serological and blood element analyses of hADSC-treated rats indicated that the hADSC spheres were a safe treatment in vivo. This study demonstrates that hADSC spheres are a promising treatment for OA and can be applied to other stem cell therapies or regenerative medical treatments.

Hypoxia, a hallmark of malignant tumors, often correlates with increasing tumor aggressiveness and poor treatment outcomes. Due to a lack of vasculature, effective drug delivery to hypoxic tumor regions remains challenging. Signaling through the chemokine SDF-1α and its receptor CXCR4 plays a critical role in the homing of stem cells to ischemia for potential use as drug-delivery vehicles.

Background Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the secretome of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) affects human glioblastoma (GBM) cancer stem cell (CSC) subpopulation or has any influence on drug resistance and cell migration, evaluating the safety of hADSCs for novel cancer therapies.
Methods: hADSCs were maintained in contact with fresh culture medium to produce hADSCs conditioned medium (CM). GBM U87 cells were cultured with CM and sphere formation, expression of genes related to resistance and CSCs-MGMT, OCT4, SOX2, NOTCH1, MSI1-and protein expression of OCT4 and Nanog were analyzed.

The application of stem cells appears to have great therapeutic potential to facilitate nerve regeneration in patients with neurodegenerative disease or spinal cord injury. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs), a subset of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells, possess the great advantages of an abundant amount of cells, less ethical conflict and minimal invasive surgical procedures to obtain the cells. Chitosan, a naturally derived polysaccharide from chitin, has been widely studied to facilitate and guide the direction of nerve regeneration as a biomaterial for the neural tube.

In the present study, the multipotent potential of two differential isolated human adipose-derived stem cell (hADSC) populations was evaluated. More specifically, hADSC isolated by means of classical Ficoll (F) gradient centrifugation were compared to hADSC isolated by means of red blood cell (RBC) lysis treatment and subsequent cultivation as 3D spheres. No significant difference in the genotypic expression of the multipotent markers Oct-4, Sox-2, Nanog, Klf-4 and cMyc could be observed between both isolation methods.
