Spotlight Publication: 鈥淗ydrogel Embedding of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Supports Extracellular Vesicle Production鈥� published in Biotechnology and Bioengineering
This study investigates the effects of 3D culture conditions on extracellular vesicle (EV) production by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a gelatin-based hydrogel matrix (GelMA). The EVs from both conditions were found to have similar morphological and molecular properties, but EVs derived from 3D cultures accelerated gap-closure in a scratch-assay. Read MoreJune 26, 2026
