Title: Small-Molecule Antagonist of an Inflammatory Cytokine Enhances Migration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Bonnie Barrilleaux and Katie Russell Dance your PhD Institution: Tulane University Song: Freedom Dance/Vanessa Williams After systemic infusion, some mesenchymal stem cells can home to a site of injury and contribute to tissue repair, but the majority of cells are lost. This work has the potential to improve the delivery of mesenchymal stem cells to injured tissue, by identifying and eliminating factors that inhibit the cells' innate homing ability. In this video, we depict a mesenchymal stem cell (dancer 1) whose migration is inhibited by the presence of an inflammatory cytokine (pink scarves).
