New insights into the Hippo/YAP pathway in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Mingyao Sun et al.

Summary: IPF is a progressive disease characterized by an inexorable decline in lung function, involving multiple positive feedback loops and the crucial role of the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway. YAP/TAZ plays a key role in pulmonary fibrosis and alveolar regeneration by regulating cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition through different signaling pathways.

Transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells to treat premature ovarian failure

Oldouz Shareghi-oskoue et al.

Summary: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a problem for women before the age of 40, characterized by symptoms such as amenorrhea and low estrogen levels. The current treatment approach involves stem cell therapy, particularly HUCMSC transplantation, which has shown to effectively improve ovarian function and treat infertility.

Human placental mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate liver fibrosis in mice by upregulation of Caveolin1 in hepatic stellate cells

Yunqi Yao et al.

Summary: Human placental mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) can effectively alleviate experimental hepatic fibrosis, inhibit inflammation, and show better therapeutic effects against mild-to-moderate LF. hPMSCs downregulate fibrosis-related genes, promote the upregulation of Cav1, leading to inhibition of activated HSCs and suppression of the TGF-beta/Smad signaling pathway.

Human bronchial epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicle therapy for pulmonary fibrosis via inhibition of TGF-β-WNT crosstalk

Tsukasa Kadota et al.

Summary: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive lung fibrosis and poor prognosis, with aberrant gene expression and extracellular vesicles (EVs) playing critical roles in inhibiting myofibroblast differentiation and cellular senescence. Human bronchial epithelial cell-derived EVs (HBEC EVs), particularly through microRNA cargo, show promising anti-fibrotic properties by modulating WNT signaling pathways.

Macrophages at the nexus of mesenchymal stromal cell potency: The emerging role of chemokine cooperativity

Jacques Galipeau

Summary: Experimental evidence shows that host macrophages play a crucial role in mediating the anti-inflammatory properties of MSCs, while non-phagocytosed MSCs induce tissue macrophages to express IL-10, shaping the immune environment. MSC-derived factors such as IL-6, IDO, and TSG-6 directly influence macrophage polarization, highlighting a necessary functional relationship between MSCs and host macrophages in modulating inflammatory response.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of liver fibrosis and its regression

Tatiana Kisseleva et al.

Summary: Chronic liver injury results in liver inflammation and fibrosis, which can be reversed by eliminating activated myofibroblasts and resorbing the fibrous scar. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying liver fibrosis and its reversibility can lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets for liver fibrosis treatment.
