- Human umbilical cord blood serum (HUCBS) shows promise as an effective treatment for severe ocular surface disorders (OSDs) by speeding up healing and reducing inflammation, benefiting patients who haven't found relief through standard therapies.
- A study of 49 patients with various severe OSDs was conducted at San Marco Hospital in Italy, categorizing patients based on causes like rheumatologic diseases and graft-versus-host disease.
- Results indicated significant improvement in multiple assessments, including patient-reported outcomes and clinical evaluations, demonstrating the potential of HUCBS in treating resistant cases of OSDs.
Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) represent a subset of the mesenchymal stem cells in every adipose compartment throughout the body. ADSCs can differentiate into various cell types, including chondrocytes, osteocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. Moreover, they exhibit a notable potential to differentiate in vitro into cells from other germinal lineages, including endothelial cells and neurons.
