  2. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes inhibit ferroptosis in mice.

    “hUCMSC-exos inhibited ferroptosis by reducing divalent iron ions and malondialdehyde levels, increasing the glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio, and upregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 expression.”
