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.

Autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are characterised by a loss of immune tolerance, whereby the immune cells attack self-antigens causing pain and inflammation. These conditions can be brought into remission using pharmaceutical tre...
