Abstract

Larger is better: Fas-silencing siRNA can be delivered into the cytoplasm of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) by a bioreducible polymer (see picture). The enhanced anti-apoptotic activity of the Fas-silenced hMSCs means that they can be readily formulated as enlarged spheroids to significantly enhance angiogenic efficacy as compared to their smaller counterparts.
