Stromal cell-derived factor-1 promotes bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells proliferation, survival and bone morphogenetic protein-6 expression in diabetic mice
Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation holds promise for treating type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and its complications. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is implicated in stem cell homing and survival, yet its role in modulating BMSCs function in the context of diabetes remains unclear. Obje...
