Genetic modification and preconditioning strategies to enhance functionality of mesenchymal stromal cells: a clinical perspective.

Numerous preclinical investigations have demonstrated that preconditioning and genetic modifications considerably enhance MSC's therapeutic capacity through improving their survival rate, antioxidant activity, growth factor secretion, immunomodulation, homing efficiency, and angiogenesis. For MSC preconditioning and genetic modification to achieve clinical translation, remarkable outcomes in clinical trials are of pivotal importance.
