    Abstract

    Putative Critical Quality Attribute Matrix Identifies Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with Potent Immunomodulatory and Angiogenic “Fitness” Ranges in Response to Culture Process Parameters

    The authors constructed an in vitro matrix of multivariate readouts to identify putative critical quality attributes that could discriminate between specific critical processing parameters chosen for their ability to enhance MSC immunomodulatory and angiogenic potencies.
