- Low oxygen preconditioning enhances the survival, proliferation, and immunomodulatory properties of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs).
- Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play a key role in mediating the effects of hypoxia preconditioning on UC-MSCs.
- Preconditioned UC-MSCs show improved therapeutic potential in stem cell therapy, particularly in anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive applications.
- The biological mechanisms involve increased production of pro-angiogenic and neuroprotective factors, as highlighted in related studies on other stem cells.
