Article Synopsis
- Cell therapies using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), particularly human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs), are gaining attention as potential treatments for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI), focusing on their ability to promote blood vessel growth.
- This study examined the effects of different natural polysaccharide hydrogels, specifically methacrylated glycol chitosan (MGC) and methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MHA), on the survival and pro-angiogenic functions of hASCs when encapsulated within them.
- Results showed that while hASCs maintained high viability in both hydrogels, those in MGC hydrogels secreted more pro-
