Mindful self-compassion (MSC) as an intervention for infertility related distress: A pilot self-help version of MSC
… related distress. Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a relatively novel treatment that involves learning mindfulness techniques with an explicit focus on self-compassion. Previous literature has indicated that women report lower levels of self-compassion than men. Increased levels of …

Optimization and Translation of MSC-Based Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogels for Cartilage Repair
… into the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an alternative cell source. MSCs are multipotent cells that can differentiate towards a chondrocyte phenotype in a number of biomaterials, but no combination has successfully recapitulated the native mechanical function of healthy articular …

Enhancement of spatially-controlled MSC responses in a multi-compartment CG scaffold for tendon-bone junction regeneration
There have been many advancements in the field of tissue engineering for the repair or regeneration of single tissues. However, orthopedic injuries often occur at the interface between soft tissues and bone. The tendon-bone junction (TBJ) is a classic example of such an interface, containing …

MICRO-CT EVALUATION OF MSC/HUVEC/HSC-MEDIATED ANGIOGENESIS IN LARGE PCL-ßTCP CONSTRUCTS IMPLANTED IN NUDE MICE
… were seeded with human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plus HUVECs or HSCs. Groups (N=12) consisted of scaffold samples seeded with MSCs alone, MSCs and HUVECs, MSCs and HSCs, and no cells. Cell suspension containing thrombin was evenly seeded into the micro porous constructs, sealed with …

SASSI and the MSC: How effective have they been with reaching consumers in Cape Town and raising their awareness
… such campaigns: the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI). This study aimed to investigate the awareness of consumers at major retail outlets in Cape Town of these initiatives, and to link awareness with seafood consumption behaviour. It …

May I Be Kind to Myself : A Pilot Study on the Experience of a 6-Week Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion (SC-MSC)
… Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion (SC-MSC). Five women completed the course as well as a semi-structured interview with a targeted set of questions pertaining to uncovering their lived experiences. Thematic analysis was used to construct detailed accounts of each participants' …

Investigating the efficacy and mechanism of action of mesenchymal stromal cell therapy in burn wound healing
… studies suggest that mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy may be efficacious in accelerating wound healing. Which source of MSC is therapeutically superior has not been well established, especially in large clinically relevant animal models. We therefore investigated the efficacy of Bone …

Investigation of efficacy and mechanisms of action in mesenchymal stromal cell therapy for chronic lung diseases
Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) are adult multipotent cells that possess self-‐renewal and regenerative capacities, with the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types. They have potent immunosuppressive abilities, facilitating the use of allogeneic MSC as a cellular therapy. …

The multiple migratory mechanisms of systemically infused mesenchymal stem cells to sites of inflammation
Systemically infused mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are being explored for their immunomodulatory therapeutic potential in multiple inflammatory pathologies. This therapeutic potential has been associated with the ability of MSC to accumulate at sites of inflammation following infusion. However, …

Ruolo delle cellule staminali mesenchimali in modelli cellulari e animali di nefropatia
Background. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) may be of value in regeneration of renal tissue after damage, however lack of biological knowledge and variability of results in animal models limit their utilization. Methods. We studied the effects of MSC on podocytes ‘in vitro’ and ‘in vivo’ utilizing …

A Delineation of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapeutic Action in New Models of Acute and Chronic Graft versus Host Disease
… capacity of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) has been extensively characterised in terms of T cells, natural killer cells and dendritic cells suppression; however the ability of MSC to modulate B cell biology is not fully understood. This immune suppressive ability has led to the …

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of myocardial infarction
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently under investigation as repair agents in the preservation of cardiac function following myocardial infarction (MI). However concerns have emerged regarding the safety of acute intracoronary (IC) MSC delivery specifically related to mortality, …

Inflammatory and Immune Effects of Intra-Articular Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Horses
… bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in horses. The study group consisted of 6 five-year-old Thoroughbred mares, free of musculoskeletal disease in the fetlocks. The 4 fetlock joints were injected on day 0 with 15 million MSC from the described MSC groups and were assessed for 28 …

Lung microenvironment plays a key role on the protective vs. detrimental effects of mesenchymal stromal cell therapy in acute lung injury
… pulmonary fibrosis. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are considered good candidates for therapy due to their ability to home into injury sites and help in recovery. However, MSC are sensitive to stimulations from their surroundings and some evidence suggests that MSCs can contribute to fibrosis. …
