Engineered stem cell clusters aid blood flow recovery in mice
In a mouse model of restricted blood supply, clusters containing tiny plates took hold better after transplantation and sped blood vessel regeneration.In a mouse model of restricted blood supply, clusters containing tiny plates took hold better after transplantation and sped blood vessel regeneration.
Mouse studyInterventions
Who was studiedImmunodeficient mice with hindlimb ischemia, 28 days
What changedBlood flow recovered faster with engineered clusters than conventional clusters or PBS, approaching near-complete recovery by day 28
The catchFollow-up ended after 28 days, leaving longer-term blood flow recovery unmeasured
