Vascular endothelial growth factor mediates the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles against neonatal hyperoxic lung injury
Neonatal lung damage: Vesicles as vehicles for treatment Membrane-bound sacs called vesicles, secreted by stem cells, carry a protein that might prevent oxygen damaging the lungs of newborn infants. This damage is particularly prevalent in babies born prematurely. The ‘mesenchymal’ stem cells genera...
