Salonius E, Kontturi L, Laitinen A, Haaparanta A, Korhonen M, Nystedt J, et al.
J Cell Physiol . 2019 Sep; 235(4):3497-3507. PMID: 31552691
Cell therapy combined with biomaterial scaffolds is used to treat cartilage defects. We hypothesized that chondrogenic differentiation bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in three-dimensional biomaterial scaffolds would initiate cartilaginous...

Front Immunol . 2019 Aug; 10:1627. PMID: 31379832
Some recent reports suggest that cryopreserved and thawed mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may have impaired functional properties as compared to freshly harvested MSCs from continuous cultures. A cryopreservation step in...

Stem Cell Res Ther . 2019 Jun; 10(1):164. PMID: 31196185
Background: Contrary to the minimal criteria proposed by the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy for defining multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression is largely...
