    Abstract Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are among the most challenging disorders for health care professionals that require systemic immune suppression which associates with various side effects. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are capable of regulating immune responses, mainly through paracrine effects and cell-cell contact. Since MSCs are advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), they must follow Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations to ensure their safety and efficacy. In this study, we evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of GMP-compliant clinical grade MSCs obtained from four different sources (bone marrow, adipose tissue, Wharton's Jelly, and decidua tissue) on allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Our results revealed that WJ-MSCs were the most successful group in inhibiting PBMC proliferation as confirmed by BrdU analysis. Moreover, WJ-MSCs were the strongest group in enhancing the regulatory T cell population of PBMCs. WJ-MSCs also had the highest secretory profile of prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2), anti-inflammatory cytokine, while interleukin-10 (IL-10) secretion was highest in the DS-MSC group. DS-MSCs also had the lowest secretion of IL-12 and IL-17 inflammatory cytokines. Transcriptome analysis revealed that WJ-MSCs had the lowest expression of IL-6, while DS-MSCs were the most potent group in the expression of immunomodulatory factors such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF- β). Taken together, our results indicated that GMP-compliant Wharton's Jelly and decidua-derived MSCs showed the best immunomodulatory performance considering paracrine factors.

    Abstract Kidney-liver crosstalk plays a crucial role in normal and certain pathological conditions. In pathologic states, both renal-induced liver damage and liver-induced kidney diseases may happen through these kidney-liver interactions. This bidirectional crosstalk takes place through the systemic conditions that mutually influence both the liver and kidneys. Ischemia and reperfusion, cytokine release and pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, metabolic acidosis, oxidative stress, and altered enzyme activity and metabolic pathways establish the base of this interaction between the kidneys and liver. In these concomitant kidney-liver diseases, the survival rates strongly correlate with early intervention and treatment of organ dysfunction. Proper care of a nephrologist and hepatologist and the identification of pathological conditions using biomarkers at early stages are necessary to prevent the complications induced by this complex and potentially vicious cycle. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of this crosstalk is essential for better management. In this review, we discussed the available literature concerning the detrimental effects of kidney failure on liver functions and liver-induced kidney diseases.

    Abstract This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the effectiveness of biomaterials integrated with specific microRNAs (miRNAs) for bone fracture repair treatment. We conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, identifying 42 relevant papers up to March 2022. Hydrogel-based scaffolds were the most commonly used, incorporating miRNAs like miR-26a, miR-21, and miR-222, with miR-26a being the most prevalent. The meta-analysis revealed significant benefits of incorporating miRNAs into scaffolds for bone repair, particularly in hydrogel scaffolds. However, some controversies were observed among studies, presenting challenges in selecting appropriate miRNAs for this purpose. The study concludes that incorporating specific miRNAs into bone biomaterials enhances bone regeneration, but further trials comparing different biomaterials and miRNAs are necessary to validate their potential applications for bone tissue regeneration.

    Abstract Treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, is currently considered a challenging issue since it causes substantial disability, poor quality of life, and mortality. Despite remarkable progress in advanced conventional therapeutic interventions, the global burden of the disease has nearly doubled, prompting us to assess the riskeffectiveness of different treatment modalities. Each protocol could be considered as the best alternative treatment depending on the patient's situation. Prescription of levodopa, the most effective available medicine for this disorder, has been associated with many complications, i.e., multiple episodes of "off-time" and treatment resistance. Other medications, which are typically used in combination with levodopa, may have several adverse effects as well. As a result, the therapies that are more in line with human physiology and make the least interference with other pathways are worth investigating. On the other hand, remaining and persistent symptoms after therapy and the lack of effective response to the conventional approaches have raised expectations towards innovative alternative approaches, such as stem cell-based therapy. It is critical to not overlook the unexplored side effects of innovative approaches due to the limited number of research. In this review, we aimed to compare the efficacy and risk of advanced therapies with innovative cell-based and stemcell- based modalities in PD patients. This paper recapitulated the underlying factors/conditions, which could lead us to more practical and established therapeutic outcomes with more advantages and few complications. It could be an initial step to reconsider the therapeutic blueprint for patients with Parkinson's disease.

    Abstract The liver is a vital organ responsible for metabolic and digestive functions, protein synthesis, detoxification, and numerous other necessary functions. Various acute, chronic, and neoplastic disorders affect the liver and hamper its biological functions. Most of the untreated liver diseases lead to inflammation and fibrosis which develop into cirrhosis. The human amniotic membrane (hAM), the innermost layer of the fetal placenta, is composed of multiple layers that include growth-factor rich basement membrane, epithelial and mesenchymal stromal cell layers. hAM possesses distinct beneficial anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties via the secretion of multiple potent trophic factors and/or direct differentiation into hepatic cells which place hAM-based therapies as potential therapeutic strategies for the treatment of chronic liver diseases. Decellularized hAM is also an ideal scaffold for liver tissue engineering as this biocompatible niche provides an excellent milieu for cell proliferation and hepatocytic differentiation. Therefore, the current review discusses the therapeutic potential of hAM and its derivatives in providing therapeutic solutions for liver pathologies including acute liver failure, metabolic disorders, liver fibrosis as well as its application in liver tissue engineering.

    Abstract Introduction: According to the recent updates from World Health Organization, liver diseases are the 12th most common cause of mortality. Currently, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the most effective and the only treatment for end-stage liver diseases. Owing to several shortcomings like finite numbers of healthy organ donors, lifelong immunosuppression, and complexity of the procedure, cell and cell-derivatives therapies have emerged as a potential therapeutic alternative for liver diseases. Various cell types and therapies have been proposed and their therapeutic effects evaluated in preclinical or clinical studies, including hepatocytes, hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) derived from stem cells, human liver stem cells (HLSCs), combination therapies with various types of cells, organoids, and implantable cell-biomaterial constructs with synthetic and natural polymers or even decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM).
    Areas covered: In this review, we highlighted the current status of cell and cell-derivative-based therapies for liver diseases. Furthermore, we discussed future prospects of using HLCs, liver organoids, and their combination therapies.
    Expert opinion: Promising application of stem cell-based techniques including iPSC technology has been integrated into novel techniques such as gene editing, directed differentiation, and organoid technology. iPSCs offer promising prospects to represent novel therapeutic strategies and modeling liver diseases.
