[ 1 ] - Cell Survival Effects of Autophagy Regulation on Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Following Exposure to Oxidative Stress

Background: Due to oxidative stress, hypoxia, and serum deprivation, a large percentage of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) die in the early stages of transplantation. The present study aimed to address whether induction or inhibition of autophagy would affect the viability of MSCs after exposure to oxidative stress.Methods: MSCs were isolated from umbilical cord tissue using the Ficoll grad...
