	Comment
	Commentary Can a young muscle's stem cell secretome prolong our lives? Karl JA McCullagh Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:19 (28 May 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Karl McCullagh comments on recent findings that a population of muscle stem cells are able to prolong life in a mouse model of premature ageing.
	Review
	Review Strategies for enrichment and selection of stem cell-derived tissue precursors Harold S Bernstein, William C Hyun Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:17 (10 May 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Bernstein and Hyun review strategies used to direct tissue-specific differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and methods for the identification and selection of tissue-specific precursors for scientific study and clinical use.
	Review Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for attenuation of scar formation during wound healing Wesley M Jackson, Leon J Nesti, Rocky S Tuan Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:20 (31 May 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Editor-in-Chief Rocky Tuan and colleagues review the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to promote scar-less wound healing, including the mechanisms by which they can limit tissue fibrosis.
	Research
	Research The secretome of stem cells isolated from the adipose tissue and Wharton jelly acts differently on central nervous system derived cell populations Carlos A Ribeiro, Joana S Fraga, Mário Grãos, Nuno M Neves, Rui L Reis, Jeffrey M Gimble, Nuno Sousa, António J Salgado Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:18 (2 May 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The secretome of human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUPVCs) and adipose tissue-derived stem cells differ, with HUPVC conditioned media able to promote neuronal survival and differentiation without exogenous supplement.
	Research Characterization of lung stem cell niches in a mouse model of bleomycin-induced fibrosis Ena Banerjee, William Henderson Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:21 (29 May 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed
	Research SOX9 gene transfer via safe, stable, replication-defective recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors as a novel, powerful tool to enhance the chondrogenic potential of human mesenchymal stem cells Jagadeesh K Venkatesan, Myriam Ekici, Henning Madry, Gertrud Schmitt, Dieter Kohn, Magali Cucchiarini Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:22 (28 June 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Transfer of SOX9 via replication-defective recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector enhances the chondrogenic potential of human mesenchymal stem cells, with potential for future therapeutic applications to restore articular cartilage defects.
