January 2018 in “Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry” This study found that UVB irradiation alters skin stem cell niches leading to signs of photoaging, which may be reversed by adipose-derived stem cells through BMP4 pathway modulation and niche remodeling.
April 2026 in “DiRROS repository (University of Maribor)” This review discusses the therapeutic potential and challenges of using extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells, concluding that they may have a comparable therapeutic potential to the original cells despite current challenges in their application and production.
