    Altered protein secretions during interactions between adipose tissue- or bone marrow-derived stromal cells and inflammatory cells

    Paracrine effects can be exploited in cell-based therapies that secrete factors, such as chemokines and cytokines, and can recruit inflammatory cells to transplants. In this study, mouse adipose tissue-derived...

    Fragmin/Protamine Microparticles (F/P MPs) as Cell Carriers Enhance the Formation and Growth of Tumors In Vivo

    Mixing a low-molecular-weight heparin (e.g., fragmin) with protamine results in the formation of water-insoluble fragmin/protamine microparticles (F/P MPs) approximately 0.5–3 μm in diameter. In this study, we in...
