Do stem cells from umbilical cord Wharton 's jelly from preterm birth have neuroglial differentiation potential?
Undifferentiated WJ-MSCs from preterm birth express neuroglial markers and can be successfully induced into neural progenitors similar to term controls. Their potential use as cellular graft in neuroregenerative therapy for peripartum brain injury in preterm birth has to be tested.
In this study, we provide evidences that inhibition of nSMase can protect skeletal muscles from saturated fatty acid induced insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, cellular stress and inflammation.
