Characteristics of Ad-MSCs, BM-MSCs, and XF-iMSCs. Credit: Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2024). DOI: 10.1186/s13287-024-03951-6 A research team led by Associate Professor Hidetoshi Sakurai and Researcher Nana Takenaka-Ninagawa recently demonstrated the superior therapeutic potential of iPS cell-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (iMSCs) compared to primary MSCs as a potential treatment for Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. The study is published in Stem...
