Infertility is a global phenomenon that impacts people of both the male and the female sex; it is related to multiple factors affecting an individual's overall systemic health. Recently, investigators have been using mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for female-fertility-related disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure (POF), endometriosis, preeclampsia, and Asherman syndrome (AS). Studies have shown promising results, indicating that MSCs can enhance ovarian function and restore fertility for affected individuals. Due to their regenerative effects and their participation in several paracrine pathways, MSCs can improve the fertility outcome. However, their beneficial effects are dependent on the methodologies and materials used from isolation to reimplantation. In this review, we provide an overview of the protocols and methods used in applications of MSCs. Moreover, we summarize the findings of published preclinical studies on infertility treatments and discuss the multiple properties of these studies, depending on the isolation source of the MSCs used.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure disorder treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Despite improvements in conditioning regimens and GVHD prophylaxis, graft failure and GVHD remain critical challenges. This study compared the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and umbilical cord blood cells (UCBs) as adjunctive therapies in 184 AA patients undergoing allo-HSCT.

The mechanisms mediating endochondral bone formation remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that CXXC Finger Protein 1 (CFP1) is required for the onset of chondrogenesis during forelimb development. CFP1-deficient mesenchymal progenitor cells (LMPs) retain an immature molecular signature with elevated FGF and SHH signaling and repressed BMP signaling, in part, due to (1) reduced expression of type I BMP receptors, (2) reduced Smad1 protein levels and (3) an altered extracellular niche.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) hold great promise for bone tissue repair and regeneration. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating the osteogenic differentiation and bone remodeling of ADSCs; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we conducted whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on ADSCs and constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network to identify the circTTC3/miR-205/mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3) signaling axis.
