Aim: Cell viability assays are critical for cell-based products. Here, we demonstrate a combined experimental and computational approach to identify fit-for-purpose cell assays that can predict changes in cell proliferation, a critical biological response in cell expansion. Materials & methods: Jurkat cells were systematically injured using heat (45 ± 1°C). Cell viability was measured at 0 h and 24 h after treatment using assays for membrane integrity, metabolic function and apoptosis. Proliferation kinetics for longer term cultures were modeled using the Gompertz distribution to establish predictive models between cell viability results and proliferation. Results & conclusion: We demonstrate an approach for ranking these assays as predictors of cell proliferation and for setting cell viability specifications when a particular proliferation response is required.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) possess regenerative properties and are also considered as future vaccines. All types of cells secrete EVs; however, the amount of EVs secreted by the cells varies under various physiological as well as pathological states. Several articles have reviewed the molecular composition and potential therapeutic applications of EVs. Likewise, the 'sorting signals' associated with specific macromolecules have also been identified, but how the signal transduction pathways prevailing in the parent cells alter the molecular profile of the EVs or the payload they carry has not been sufficiently reviewed. Here, we have specifically discussed the implications of these alterations in the macromolecular cargo of EVs for their therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine.

Aim: Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause severe disability. Several clinical trials of stem-cell based therapies are ongoing. We describe our experience of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) therapy in a patient with complete SCI in the chronic stage. Case report: A 25-year-old man with complete SCI at T6 level presented with paraplegia for 5 years. We transplanted autologous BMSCs intramedullary. After 12 months follow-up, his Barthel index score was noticeably improved from severe to moderate dependency, and the sensation level improved from T7 to S5, but no improvement of motor function. Conclusion: Autologous BMSCs are potentially safe for patients with complete SCI in the chronic stage and may improve neurological function and quality of life.

This review explores the intricate relationship between acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It covers ARDS epidemiology, etiology and pathophysiology, along with current treatment trends and challenges. The lipopolysaccharides (LPS) role in ARDS and its association between non-communicable diseases and COVID-19 are discussed. The review highlights the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) for ARDS and T2DM, emphasizing their immunomodulatory effects. This review also underlines how T2DM exacerbates ARDS pathophysiology and discusses the potential of hUC-MSCs in modulating immune responses. In conclusion, the review highlights the multidisciplinary approach to managing ARDS and T2DM, focusing on inflammation, oxidative stress and potential therapy of hUC-MSCs in the future.

Aim: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and costly condition, rooted in cartilaginous defects. Despite various causes, the inability for chondrocytes to regenerate prohibits these lesions from self-healing. Debridement commonly provides symptomatic relief but does not target the underlying disease process, necessitating investigation into possible treatments. Intraosseous and intraarticular bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection is a new promising therapy aimed at repairing these cartilage defects. Methods/materials: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent BMAC chondroplasty and examined the efficacy in delaying need for further intervention. Results: Only 5 of 23 procedures (21.7%) required postoperative intervention within the 2-year follow-up period. Only one request for total knee arthroplasty was made, but the procedure has not been done. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that BMAC chondroplasty may be an efficacious method to delay need for total knee arthroplasty.
