Some degrees of difference: impact of in vitro cultivation temperature on mesenchymal stromal cells from species with different body core temperatures.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMultipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are promising candidates for regenerative therapies in human and animal patients. However, limiting comparability between studies in different species, subtle differences between their MSC occur. Contributing to this, MSC culture protocols are mainly optimized for the human cells. For example, it remains widely neglected that the standard cultivation temperature at 37 °C does not match the body core temperature of several relevant animal species. Therefore, we here investigated growth and viability parameters of primary mesenchymal stromal cells from species with different body core temperatures, namely humans (37 °C) and sheep (38.5 °C), at different cultivation temperatures, including subphysiological, physiological and mild febrile temperatures for each species.
resultsThe cells showed the best proliferation characteristics and colony forming potential at the species' respective physiological body core temperature. Mild febrile temperatures altered cell morphologyand compromised colony forming unit potential (p < 0.05). Subphysiological temperatures had no significant effect on colony forming unit potential, but tended to slow proliferation with decreased metabolic activity of the cell cultures (p < 0.05 in human MSC). In addition, subphysiological temperatures increased apoptosis in human MSC (p < 0.05).
conclusionsCultivation temperature impacts on mesenchymal stromal cell viability characteristics. The current study provides a first basis for species-specific temperature adaptation in MSC culture procedures, with relevance to translational animal studies, and possibly also to companion animal MSC treatments.
