Overexpression of Bcl-2 promotes survival and differentiation of neuroepithelial stem cells after transplantation into rat aganglionic colon
Wei Liu, Weiming Yue, Rongde Wu Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2013, 4:7 (16 January 2013)
Abstract | Full text | PDF
| PubMed
|
Editor’s summary
Genetically-modifying neural epithelial stem cells (NESCs) to over express the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 enhances both their survival and neuronal differentiation on transplantation into aganglionic colon, potentially improving cell therapy for gastrointestinal disorders. |

Novel mechanism for mesenchymal stem cells in attenuating peritoneal adhesion: accumulating in the lung and secreting tumor necrosis factor α-stimulating gene-6
Nan Wang, Yeqing Shao, Yan Mei, Li Zhang, Qinggang Li, Diangeng Li, Suozhu Shi, Quan Hong, Hongli Lin, Xiangmei Chen Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2012, 3:51 (6 December 2012)
Abstract | Full text | PDF
| PubMed
|
Editor’s summary
Intravenously injected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) accumulate in the lung and reduce peritoneal adhesion by secreting TSG-6, however MSCs injected intraperitoneally are phagocytosed by splenic macrophages and fail to attenuate peritoneal adhesion. |
