Human platelet-derived conditioned medium enhances the proliferative, immunosuppressive, and anti-inflammatory abilities of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro

Purpose

The purpose of this research is the compare to effectiveness of a human-based and bovine-based stem cell media by comparing the differentation and immunoregulatory capacities of mesenchymal stem cells after induction in each media. Discovering a potential alternative to traditional bovine-based stem cell media is important in bypassing regulatory restrictions to allow for widespread stem cell use.
