A new study associated with Immorta Bio suggests that combining a senolytic vaccine with mesenchymal stem cells might create a synergistic impact. However, the findings rest on acute, artificially induced injury models rather than natural aging [1]. Clearing out senescent cells to help stem cells work Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies have largely underperformed in...

Researchers publishing in the Nature journal Cell Discovery have described how the age-related attenuation of a key metabolic axis causes human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) to lose functional capabilities. Pinpointing the loss of function This paper begins by highlighting a core problem of using self-derived (autologous) stem cells for treatments in older people: the cells...

In a new study, extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improved spatial working memory in rhesus macaques, suggesting a possible reversal of age-related cognitive decline [1]. The “normal” decline Even “healthy” aging (not accompanied by obvious age-related diseases such as dementia) leads to cognitive impairments, particularly in working memory, executive function, and...

Researchers have found that growing older cells in a youthful medium causes them to behave and function more like younger cells, suggesting a new method of creating stem cell-based therapies. Cultivating patient-derived cells For some time, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be used to differentiate into multiple functional cell types, were thought to be...

Researchers have investigated a never-before-used method of transfecting senescent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and published their results In the Cell journal Molecular Therapy Nucleic Acids. Detergents for gene therapy Altering the genetics of a living person is much trickier than altering them in cells in a dish, and it requires entirely different approaches. One of...

In a new study, the researchers administered human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) to aged mice and observed reduced degeneration in multiple organs, changes to microbial composition, metabolic alterations, improvements in behavior and ability, and reduced fearfulness [1]. Therapeutic potential Earlier this year, we reported on a clinical trial in which administering HUCMSCs reduced...
