Incubation with Extracellular Vesicles Boosts Cells' Grafting Ability
DURHAM, N.C., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A study released today in STEM CELLS demonstrates how extracellular vesicles derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EV) are able to incorporate into human CD34+ cells, modifying their gene expression and increasing their viability and cloning ability.
- DURHAM, N.C., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A study released today in STEM CELLS demonstrates how extracellular vesicles derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EV) are able to incorporate into human CD34+ cells, modifying their gene expression and increasing their viability and cloning ability.
- In a test on mice, MSC-EVs also increased the cells' ability to lodge into bone marrow.
- "In the current work, we wanted to evaluate the changes induced in CD34+ cells after the incorporation of MSC-derived EV.
- Moreover, we have assessed if this incorporation has functional implications, evaluating their clonogenic ability in vitro and the in vivo engraftment in a mouse model."
