ABSTRACT

We present a method to capture mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules under flow conditions. The technique simulates a physiological system and exploits the natural biological interactions of cells, through integrin receptors, with their ECM. The system offers an insight into how MSCs could be targeted/localized to the site of interest (graft) following intravenous injection.
