Article Abstract
Bone critical-size defects and non-union fractures have no intrinsic capacity for self-healing. In this context, the emergence of bone engineering has allowed the development of functional alternatives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of ASC spheroids in bone regeneration using a synergic strategy with 3D-printed scaffolds made from poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and nanostructured hydroxyapatite doped with carbonate ions (CHA) in a rat model of cranial critical-size defect. In summary, a set of results suggests that ASC spheroidal constructs promoted bone regeneration. In vitro results showed that ASC spheroids were able to spread and interact with the 3D-printed scaffold, synthesizing crucial growth factors and cytokines for bone regeneration, such as VEGF. Histological results after 3 and 6 months of implantation showed the formation of new bone tissue in the PLA/CHA scaffolds that were seeded with ASC spheroids. In conclusion, the presence of ASC spheroids in the PLA/CHA 3D-printed scaffolds seems to successfully promote bone formation, which can be crucial for a significant clinical improvement in critical bone defect regeneration.

Approximately 70% of breast cancer (BC) diagnoses are estrogen receptor positive (ER) with ∼40% of ER BC patients presenting resistance to endocrine therapy (ET). Recent studies identify the tumor microenvironment (TME) as having a key role in endocrine resistance in which adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) play an essential role in cancer progression. Prior studies have indicated that ASC characteristics such as age and BMI may play a role in cancer progression.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising tool in regenerative medicine, with recent focus shifting towards their secretome as a cell-free therapeutic approach. This study investigates the impact of various priming strategies on the immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative potential of adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs) secretomes. We evaluated the effects of hypoxia, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and spheroid culture conditions on ASC secretome composition and functionality.

Background: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) represent a valid therapeutic option for clinical application in several diseases, mostly due to the paracrine activity of their secretome, exerting pro-angiogenic, antinflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Recently, 3D culturing models has been shown to significantly influence the intrinsic characteristics of these cells, their gene expression and the secretome's composition, thus affecting ASC paracrine effects and clinical potential. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of exploiting 3D culturing as a tool to improve ASC secretome therapeutic efficacy.

Background: Microenvironmental alterations induce significant genetic and epigenetic changes in stem cells. Mitochondria, essential for regenerative capabilities, provide the necessary energy for stem cell function. However, the specific roles of histone modifications and mitochondrial dynamics in human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) during morphological transformations remain poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- The management of diabetic wounds is difficult, but extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) show potential for treatment despite challenges with their quantity and quality.
- A novel method using cell spheroids to culture hASCs successfully increased the yield and angiogenic properties of the EVs, leading to improved wound healing characteristics.
- In vivo tests on diabetic rats demonstrated that these enhanced EVs significantly improved collagen production, wound closure, and blood vessel formation, suggesting a promising new approach for treating diabetic wounds.
