Rescue from lethal acute radiation syndrome (ARS) with severe weight loss by secretome of intramuscularly injected human placental stromal cells

Background Most current cell‐based regenerative therapies are based on the indirect induction of the affected tissues repair. Xenogeneic cell‐based treatment with expanded human placenta stromal cells, predominantly from fetal origin (PLX‐RAD cells), were shown to mitigate significantly acute radiation syndrome (ARS) following high dose irradiation in mice, with expedited regain of weight loss and haematopoietic function. The current mechanistic...
