Differentiation of vascular stem cells contributes to ectopic calcification of atherosclerotic plaque
(Wiley, 2016-02-27)
The cellular and molecular basis of vascular calcification (VC) in atherosclerosis is not fully understood. Here, we investigate role of resident/circulating progenitor cells in VC and contribution of inflammatory plaque ...
Anti-donor antibody induction following intramuscular injections of allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells
(Wiley, 2018-02-15)
Allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (allo-MSC) are a promising "off-the-shelf" therapy with anti-inflammatory and pro-repair properties. This study investigated humoral immune responses to intramuscular (IM) injections ...
Phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of human intermediate monocytes based on HLA-DR expression
(Wiley, 2018-03-05)
Human blood monocytes are subclassified as classical, intermediate and nonclassical. In this study, it was shown that conventionally defined human intermediate monocytes can be divided into two distinct subpopulations with ...
Genetically Modified Mesenchymal Stem
(2010-03)
Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic cells with multi-lineage potential to differentiate into various tissues of mesodermal origin. They can be isolated from bone marrow and other tissues and have the ...
Biodistribution and retention of locally administered human mesenchymal stromal cells: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction–based detection of human DNA in murine organs
(Elsevier, 2017-01-12)
Background. Determining the distributive fate and retention of a cell therapy product after administration is an essential part of characterizing it's biosafety profile. Therefore, regulatory guidelines stipulate that ...
Inefficiency in macromolecular transport of SCS‐based microcapsules affects viability of primary human mesenchymal stem cells but not of immortalized cells
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)
Microcapsules made of sodium cellulose sulphate (SCS) and poly-diallyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (pDADMAC) have been employed to encapsulate a wide range of established cell lines for several applications. However, little ...
Burden of chronic kidney disease and rapid decline in renal function among adults attending a hospital-based diabetes center in Northern Europe
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-14)
Introduction This study aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and rapid renal function decline and to identify indices associated with this decline among adults attending a diabetes center in ...
In vitro models for assessing therapeutic angiogenesis
(Elsevier, 2016-06-01)
Arterial obstruction leading to ischemia causes a reduction of oxygen and nutrient supply to distal tissues. The physiological response to tissue ischemia triggers a cascade of events that results in the development of ...
Current good manufacturing practice considerations for mesenchymal stromal cells as therapeutic agents
(Elsevier, 2021-05-05)
Producing human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for clinical use requires adherence to current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) standards. This is necessary for ensuring standardization and reproducibility through the ...
