Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mona A Abou-El-Mahasen"

  • Mona A Abou-El-Mahasen's research focuses on the use of adult human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) for generating insulin-producing cells as a potential treatment for diabetes.
  • Her study demonstrated that these BM-MSCs could be harvested, expanded, and directed to differentiate into surrogate β-cells, which may address issues related to donor availability and rejection in traditional pancreatic or islet transplants.
  • The research involved testing these cells in an animal model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, indicating promising results for their viability in therapeutic applications.
