Investigating MSCs and Exosomes in Ulcerative Colitis: A Combined Approach
The research evaluates the potential of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) and their exosomes in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Findings suggest that while UC-MSCs and their combinations with exosomes and Mesalazine improved symptoms, exosomes alone showed limited efficacy.
*** Featured Study *** Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes in Atherosclerosis: A Targeted Approach to Cardiovascular Therapy
Exosomes play an important role in the progression of atherosclerosis, influencing inflammation, lipid metabolism, and vascular health. Research explores the therapeutic potential of stem cell-derived exosomes in treating this condition.
Refining Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s: Higher Purity, Greater Potential
Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a technique to improve the purity of lab-grown dopaminergic neurons, a key component of stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease. By modifying stem cells through a process called lineage restriction, they have doubled the number of viable neurons, increasing the potential efficacy and safety of future treatments.
