Microfluidic Separation of Canine Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are potential treatments for a variety of veterinary medical conditions. However, clinical trials have often fallen short of expectations, due in part to heterogeneity and lack of characterization of the MSCs. Identification and characterization of subpopulations within MSC cultures may improve those outcomes. Therefore, the functional heterogeneity of different-sized subpopulations of MSCs was evaluated. A...
