Therapeutic microparticles functionalized with biomimetic cardiac stem cell membranes and secretome
Researchers have developed a synthetic version of a cardiac stem cell which offer therapeutic benefits comparable to those from natural stem cells and could reduce some of risks associated with stem cell therapies. These cells also have better preservation stability and the technology is generalizable to other types of stem cells.
Stem cell therapies work by promoting endogenous repair; that is, they aid damaged tissue in repairing itself by secreting “paracrine factors,” including proteins and genetic materials. While stem cell therapies can be effective, they are also associated with some risks of both tumor growth and immune rejection...
