Encapsulation of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells in alginate extends local presence and therapeutic function

Encapsulation of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells in alginate extends local presence and therapeutic function

Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory and trophic capacities. For therapeutic application in local chronic inflammatory diseases, MSCs, preferably of allogeneic origin, have to retain immunomodulatory properties. This might be achieved by encapsulation of MSCs in a...
