Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells with the potential to specialize into a somewhat limited number of cell types – those responsible for making fat, bone and cartilage. But MSCs are also known for their anti-inflammatory properties which are carried out via the release of protein factors. This ability to dampen the immune system … Continue reading A TWIST in mesenchymal stem cell trials: protein predicts therapy’s potential

Cell survival strategy gives mesenchymal stem cells their “paramedic” properties
A cell for all therapies Type “mesenchymal stem cells” into the federal online database of registered clinical trials, and you’ll get a sprawling list of 527 trials testing treatments for diabetes, multiple sclerosis as well as diseases of the kidney, lung, and heart, to name just a few. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity … Continue reading Cell survival strategy gives mesenchymal stem cells their “paramedic” properties
