📙 This study by Delco Lab (Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine) reveals how mesenchymal stem cells transfer mitochondria to chondrocytes, a key mechanism of MSC therapeutic activity. Oxidative stress boosts this transfer, with the Cx43 isoform GJA1-20k playing a major role. ➡️stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
