Nanotopography reveals metabolites that maintain the immunomodulatory phenotype of mesenchymal stromal cells

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells are hard to expand whilst retaining immunomodulatory properties due to spontaneous differentiation and ageing in culture. Here, the authors describe a mechanotransductive link between metabolism and functional activity and identify bioactive metabolites to expand functional...

Description
Summary:Mesenchymal Stromal Cells are hard to expand whilst retaining immunomodulatory properties due to spontaneous differentiation and ageing in culture. Here, the authors describe a mechanotransductive link between metabolism and functional activity and identify bioactive metabolites to expand functional MSCs at cell therapy scale.
