Extracellular vesicle bioactivity and potential clinical utility is determined by mesenchymal stromal cell clonal subtype (2024)
Working Paper
Ioannou, S., G Kay, A., P Stone, A., Rand, E., Elberfeld, S., Bolton, W., …Genever, P. Extracellular vesicle bioactivity and potential clinical utility is determined by mesenchymal stromal cell clonal subtype

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising source of therapeutic extracellular vesicles (EVs), however it is not clear how heterogeneity within a non-clonal MSC population will affect the collective EV pool. Here we used immortalised clonal MSC... Read More about Extracellular vesicle bioactivity and potential clinical utility is determined by mesenchymal stromal cell clonal subtype.
