Concurrent Session: MSC Potency and Mechanisms of Action: State of the Art
Sunday, September 10, 2023 08:00 AM - 09:00 AM
Grand Ballroom J-K
Chair
James Ankrum, BSE, MPhil, PhD, University of Iowa, USA
Speaker
Lorena Braid, PhD, Simon Fraser University / Aurora BioSolutions Inc., Canada – Characterizing new molecular players in MSC-mediated immunomodulation and regeneration
Giacomo Lanzoni, PhD, University of Miami, USA – Correlating in vitro and clinical observations: Umbilical Cord-derived MSC act on the TNF pathway, inhibit inflammatory cytokines, and stimulate an expansion of Regulatory T cells (Tregs)
Sing Wan Wong, PhD, Colorado State University, USA – Controlling MSC secretome by mechanobiology engineering to treat fibrosis
To uncover new pathways by which MSCs exert immunomodulatory and therapeutic potency that can then be used to engineer and manufacture improved MSC therapies.
