Abstract
Stem cell-based therapies have shown promising results for the regeneration of the nervous system. However, the survival and integration of the stem cells in the neural circuitry is suboptimal and might compromise the therapeutic outcomes of this approach. The development of functional scaffolds capable of actively interacting with stem cells may overcome the current limitations of stem cell-based therapies. In this study, three-dimensional hydrogels based on graphene derivatives and cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles are presented as prospective supports allowing neural stem cell adhesion, migration and differentiation. The morphological, mechanical and electrical properties of the resulting hydrogels can be finely tuned by controlling several parameters of the self-assembly of graphene oxide sheets, namely the amount of incorporated reducing agent (ascorbic acid) and CeO2 nanoparticles. The intrinsic properties of the hydrogels, as well as the presence of CeO2 nanoparticles, clearly influence the cell fate. Thus, stiffer adhesion substrates promote differentiation to glial cell lineages, while softer substrates enhance mature neuronal differentiation. Remarkably, CeO2 nanoparticle-containing hydrogels support the differentiation of neural stem cells to neuronal, astroglial and oligodendroglial lineage cells, promoting the in vitro generation of nerve tissue grafts that might be employed in neuroregenerative cell therapies.

Abstract
Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs) are one of the most promising stem cell sources for tissue engineering and regeneration, due to their extraordinary multi-lineage differentiation ability, ease of extraction from biological waste in dental clinics, safe non-tumorigenic phenotype, immune-tolerance upon in vivo transplantation, and great possibilities of application in autologous tissue reconstruction. The in vitro manipulation of hDPSCs paves the way for drug screening and tailor-made regeneration of damaged tissues, in the context of personalized medicine. The neural crest phenotype of these stem cells gives them the capacity to differentiate to a large variety of cell types, including neural-lineage cells. In this chapter, we describe various culture methods to generate different cellular phenotypes from hDPSCs, which can not only grow as mesenchymal-like plastic adherent cells, but also as non-adherent neurogenic dentospheres in serum-free medium. Floating dentospheres can be used to generate large populations of mature neuronal and glial marker expressing cells, which may be cultured over a substrate of nanopatterned scaffold based on biodegradable poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) to induce a controlled alignment of neurites and cell migration, to generate in vivo biocompatible constructs for nerve tissue bioengineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) can have pro- or anti-inflammatory properties, but their relationship with multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses during pregnancy remains unknown. This study aimed to explore SCFA profiles in MS patients during pregnancy and to assess their association with the appearance of relapses during pregnancy and postpartum. METHODS We prospectively included 53 pregnant MS patients and 21 healthy control women. Patients were evaluated during pregnancy and puerperium. SCFAs were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS Sixteen patients (32%) had relapses during pregnancy or puerperium, and 37 (68%) did not. All MS patients showed significant increases in acetate levels during pregnancy and the postpartum period compared to non-MS women. However, propionate and butyrate values were associated with disease activity. Their values were higher in nonrelapsing patients and remained similar to the control group in relapsing patients. The variable that best identified active patients was the propionate/acetate ratio. Ratios of <0.36 during the first trimester were associated with higher inflammatory activity (odds ratio = 165, 95% confidence interval = 10.2-239.4, p < 0.01). Most nonrelapsing patients showed values of >0.36, which were similar to those in healthy pregnant women. CONCLUSIONS Low propionate/acetate ratio values during the first trimester of gestation identified MS patients at risk of relapses during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
