Enhancement of therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cell by IGF-1 delivery in PLGA microspheres for tissue regeneration.
Article in Regenerative therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The use of stem cell-based treatment systems is prevalent in regenerative medicine. To enhance the regenerative capabilities of stem cells, growth factors are typically incorporated into the treatment system. Nonetheless, traditional hydrogel-encapsulated or heparinized scaffolds that bind factors have limitations. In this study, we prepared a biomaterial strategy using uniform poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres (uPLGA-Ms) fabricated by microfluidic to sustain delivery of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a critical protein for hMSCs biological functions. The uPLGA-Ms loaded IGF-1 were highly monodispersed through precise manipulation of the flow rate of the two-phase of the flow-focusing microchannle. The results showed that the uPLGA-Ms stabilize IGF-1 and provide a more efficient sustained delivery and cost-effective of growth factor. Gene expression analysis demonstrated the uPLGA delivery of IGF-1 results in a (enhanced) supported hMSCs expansion, survival, stemness, and secretion abilities comparable with the conventional soluble IGF-1 group. In summary, this material-based strategy to stabilize and sustain delivery of growth factor has broad potential to regeneration of various tissues and organs.
