Testosterone Propionate Promotes Proliferation and Viability of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells while Preserving Their Characteristics and Inducing Their Anti-Cancer Efficacy

The findings reveal that testosterone propionate promotes the proliferation and survival of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a dose-dependent manner without hampering their differentiation capacities, induces their polarization to the pro-inflammatory phenotype, and increases their cytotoxicity on the K562 cell line.
