Cell therapy designed to treat inflammatory bowel disease

The UPV/EHU's NanoBioCel research group has for many years been developing systems enabling cells to be used as drugs. Cell therapy raises hopes for treating those diseases for which there are as yet no effective pharmacological solutions. Biomaterials, a leading journal in the field of materials sciences and medicine, has just published the paper 'Multifunctional biomimetic hydrogel systems to boost the immunomodulatory potential of mesenchymal stromal cells'.
