Although stem cells and their derivatives exhibit potential in modeling and mitigating human diseases, the ongoing objective is to enhance their utilization and translational potential. Stem cells are increasingly employed in both academic and commercial settings for a variety of <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> applications in regenerative medicine. Notably, accessibility to stem cell research in low-Earth orbit (LEO) has expanded, driven by the unique properties of space, such as microgravity, which cannot exactly be replicated on Earth. As private enterprises continue to grow and launch low-orbit payloads alongside government-funded spaceflight, space has evolved into a more viable destination for scientific exploration. This review underscores the potential benefits of microgravity on fundamental stem cell properties, highlighting the adaptability of cells to their environment and emphasizing physical stimuli as a key factor influencing cultured cells. Previous studies suggest that stimuli such as magnetic fields, shear stress, or gravity impact not only cell kinetics, including differentiation and proliferation, but also therapeutic effects such as cells with improved immunosuppressive capabilities or the ability to identify novel targets to refine disease treatments. With the rapid progress and sustained advocacy for space research, we propose that the advantageous properties of LEO create novel opportunities in biomanufacturing for regenerative medicine, spanning disease modeling, the development of stem cell-derived products, and biofabrication.</p>","PeriodicalId":94214,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":"143-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139704363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their characteristics and functionality are dependent on the source of MSCs and their cell culture conditions. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) provides a source of nutrients and growth factors to the cultured cells. However, certain pitfalls are associated with its supplementation to the culture media, including introduction of exogenous FBS-derived EVs to the cultured cells. Thus, recent practices recommend utilization of serum-free (SF) media or EV-depleted FBS. On the contrary, evidence suggests that the immunomodulatory ability of MSC-EVs can be improved by exposing MSCs to an inflammatory (IF) environment. The objective of this study was to (1) compare EVs isolated from two tissue sources of MSCs that were exposed to various cell culture conditions and (2) to evaluate their anti-inflammatory effects. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) were exposed to either a SF media environment, an IF environment, or media supplemented with 5% EV-depleted FBS. Following isolation of MSC-EVs, the isolates were quantified and evaluated for particle size, phenotypic changes, and their immunomodulatory potential. A statistically significant difference was not identified on the yield and protein concentration of different isolates of EVs from BM-MSCs and UC-MSCs, and all isolates had a circular appearance as evaluated via electron microscopy. A significant difference was identified on the phenotype of different EVs isolates; however, all isolates expressed classical markers such as CD9, CD63, and CD81. The addition of BM-derived MSC-EVs from FBS environment or UC-derived MSC-EVs from IF environment resulted in statistically significant downregulation of IL-6 messenger RNA (mRNA) in stimulated leukocytes.

The embryonic stem (ES) cells were differentiated into neural cells in vitro, which replicated the neurodevelopmental processes that occur in vivo. It also provided an alternative model for studying neurodevelopmental processes and testing drugs for neurological conditions. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the regulatory role of Pitolisant in the early differentiation of ES cells into neural cells. Our results demonstrated that Pitolisant could promote the differentiation of ES cells toward NSCs and stimulated the formation of growth cones. Furthermore, Pitolisant was capable of inducing the polarization of NSCs through the cAMP-LKB1-SAD/MARK2 pathway, but had no significant effect on later neuronal maturation. Pitolisant altered mitochondrial morphology and upregulated the levels of mitochondrion-related proteins TOM20, Drp1, and p-Drp1, and reversed the inhibitory effect of Mdivi-1 on mitochondrial fission during the early neural differentiation of ES cells.
