The advancement in stem-cell therapies in various diseases.
Conditions | Stem-cell type | Models Human/Animal | Application and study design | Main outcomes | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cell differentiation, reprogramming, and regeneration | Wharton’s jelly-MSCs (WJMSCs) | NA | Investigate the effect of nanostructures on WJMSCs that are undergoing motor neuron lineage differentiation when combined with sonic hedgehog and retinoic acid | WJMSCs are a desirable source of stem cells for producing and restoration of motor neurons | 118 |
iPSCs | Mice | Create modified human EVs that can initiate reprogramming-based vasculogenic therapies without relying on viral vectors or progenitor cells | Reprogramming was utilized to create induced endothelial cells (iECs) from iPSCs | 119 | |
hUCMSCs | Rats | Developed biocompatible nanoparticles made of layered double hydroxide and optimized the elemental compositions of ions to improve the process of chondrogenic differentiation in hUCMSCs | New perspectives on treating intervertebral degeneration IDD | 120 | |
Alzheimer disease | Corpus cerebrospinal fluid produced from iPSC (CNSC-SE) | Transgenic (5×FAD) mice | Administered 5 μg/g CNSC-SE produced from iPSC throughout 12 weeks | The human iPSC-derived CNSC-SE is utilized for neurogenesis and dendritic morphogenesis | 121 |
Neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) | Rats and mice | Mice and rats treated with NSPCs | NSPC therapy may enhance cognitive performance and delay the onset of AD | 122 | |
Parkinson disease | ADMSCs | Rats | The subjects were categorized into four distinct categories: control, sham, treatment cell, and lesion. The treatment cell group injected intravenous injection of adipose-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) | ADMSs can treat Parkinson’s could enhance the density of neurons that express TH protein | 123 |
BM-MSCs | Mice | In vivo by utilizing a neurotoxin-induced model 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) exposure and assessed the impact of BM-MSC secretome in living organisms by comparing the effects of secretome administration through two different routes | The capacity of BM-MSCs’ secretome to inhibit dopaminergic neuronal death | 124 | |
Cardiovascular diseases, | iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM) | Animal model | The injected cell dosages ranged from 2×105 to 4×108. The duration of the follow-up period varied between 1 and 12 weeks | The iPSC-CM therapy is a secure and helpful technique to improve cardiac function in individuals with infarction | 125 |
hADSC | Rats | hADSCs were injected in various doses (between 2×105 to 4×108), and patients were followed up for 1-10 weeks | The hADSC is able to improve cardiac function, less ventricular remodeling, reduce fibrosis, and increase angiogenesis | 126 | |
Orthopedic conditions (knee osteoarthritis) | Autologous-ADMSC | Human | Thirty cases were categorized into three distinct categories: two categories were treated with either a single injection of ADMSCs (100×106) or two injections of ADMSCs ((100×106) at the start and 6 months later), and the 3rd category was the control | ADMSC therapy is a safe and successful treatment that may also stop disease development | 127 |
Hematological disorders | Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) | Human | One hundred four cases were given allo-SCT | Allo-SCT showed significant implications for patients | 128 |
HLA haploidentical- HSCT (haploid-HSCT) | Human | One hundred three patients have severe aplastic anemia; patients received HLA-HSCs together with allogenic MSCs after a preparatory treatment regimen consisting of busulfan, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and antithymocyte globulin | Safe and effective haplo-HSCT could help children and adolescents with severe aplastic anemia | 129 | |
Diabetes | UC-MSCs | Human | Seventy-three patients were allocated at random to either receive intravenous injections of UC-MSCs. The infusion was administered three times, with 4 weeks for each administration. Patients were monitored for 48 weeks | UC-MSCs are a useful strategy for improving the time to onset of type Ⅱ diabetes | 130 |
Cancer | MSC-exosomes | NA | Four distinct cell lines were utilized, namely ACHN, LNCaP, 5637, and PC3, which are well-established models for prostate tumors that are sensitive to hormones that affect the kidneys and bladder. The cell lines were subjected to several doses of exosomes produced from MSCs | MSC-exosomes have anticancer effects | 131 |
MSCs | Mice | The M/LPV/O2 is used in both laboratory and animal studies, which is a liposomal formulation of an oxygen-loading perfluorocarbon and a sonosensitizer verteporfin coated with a membrane of MSCs | MSCs are able to be a therapeutic approach to treat oral squamous cell carcinoma | 132 | |
Autoimmune diseases | MSCs | Mice | The positive group was treated with lupus, and the negative group was normal mice, Naïve MSCs (N-MSCs), Lactobacillus strains, delbrueckii (D-MSCs) or rhamnosus (R-MSCs) were coincubated for 48 h, then intravenously injected in separate groups | Combining MSCs with Lactobacillus strains may help alleviate symptoms resembling lupus | 133 |
MSCs | Rat | Extracted (MSCs) from rats, then they produced gas vesicles and incubated them with MSCs to achieve intracellular labeling of the MSCs, then tested in vivo and in vitro | MSCs are an innovative threptic method for treating Rheumatoid arthritis | 134 | |
COVID-19 | hUCMSCs | Human | Patients and control groups received hUCMSC therapy, a three-month follow-up study | hUCMSCs were suggested to be an initial success and relative safety for individuals suffering from COVID-19 | 135 |
hUCMSCs | Human | The study consists of 40 patients; 20 patients were administered an intravenous infusion of UC-MSCs at a dosage of 1×106/kg body weight, diluted in a 100 ml saline solution (SS) (0.9%). Another set of 20 patients got a 100 ml SS (0.9%) as a control | Intravenous hUCMSCs are used as adjuvant therapy for individuals suffering from COVID-19 | 136 |
