Confined Migration Drives Stem Cell Differentiation
Human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) homing to sites of regeneration requires navigation through mechanically confining extracellular matrix environments, inducing rapid and dramatic morphological adaptation. By exposing hMSCs to specific levels of physiological confinement, it is demonstrated that confinement can induce osteogenesis, and that this fate ...

This study reveals that M2‐EVs mitigate periodontitis‐induced bone resorption by modulating neutrophil fate. Single‐cell RNA sequencing identified an Anxa1hi neutrophil subpopulation with pro‐reparative properties. M2‐EVs disrupt neutrophil maturation, promoting this subpopulation through key reprogramming genes (Acvrl1, Fpr2). These findings highlight
