Article Abstract

Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) are a novel and biologically potent source of multipotent stromal cells with potential beyond reproductive medicine. This study explored their phenotypic profile, trilineage differentiation, and the cytoprotective effects of their conditioned media (eMSCCM) on oxidatively stressed neonatal and adult chondrocytes. Canine eMSCs displayed typical fibroblast-like morphology and expressed high levels of mesenchymal surface markers CD29 and CD44, low hematopoietic markers CD34/CD45, and variable CD90, confirming a mesenchymal identity. Differentiation assays revealed osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation, whereas adipogenic activity was limited. Using eMSCCM at 25% and 50% concentrations, chondrocyte viability was assessed after exposure to 200 µM HO. eMSCCM significantly enhanced the viability of HO-stressed chondrocytes in a dose-dependent manner, particularly at 50%, with marked effects at 24 and 48 h. Although metabolic activity declined at 72 h, the treated cells remained more metabolically active than untreated controls. These findings suggest that eMSCCM offers promising cytoprotective effects for cartilage-related oxidative stress conditions.

As a gynecological disease, endometriosis is a disease in which pain and inflammation are important parts. Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-related situation with a multifactorial etiology that remains incompletely understood. Endometriosis affects approximately 6-10% of females and is a prominent reason of infertility.

Background: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA), a common gynecological condition, often result from endometrial injury and fibrosis. Traditional therapies like hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and hormone therapy show limited efficacy in endometrial repair and high recurrence rates. Stem cell therapy, particularly using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), has emerged as a promising alternative.

Menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells ameliorate neuroinflammation and apoptosis through JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NPC1 mutant cell and mice.

Stem Cell Res Ther

Stem Cell and Biotherapy Technology Research Center of Henan, School of Life Science and Technology, Xinxiang Medical University, Xinxiang, 453003, Henan, China.

Background: Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is caused by NPC1 gene mutations, resulting in Purkinje cell degeneration and death, glial cell activation, and progressive neurodegeneration. Menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells (MenSCs) have been explored as a promising tool for treating neurodegenerative diseases due to their wide range of sources, non-invasive nature, and regular collection methods.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether MenSCs can improve neuroinflammation and apoptosis in NPC1 mutant cell (Npc1 BV2 cell line) and mice (Npc1 mice), and explore their underlying mechanisms.

(1) Background: Following the discovery of the adipokine/hormone asprosin, a substantial amount of research has provided evidence for its role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, as well as appetite, and insulin sensitivity. Its levels are dysregulated in certain disease states, including breast cancer. To date, little is known about its role in endometrial cancer (EC).
