MSCs are pluripotent stem cells with the ability of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation. They are widely used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine because of their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair functions. CD BioGlyco has decades of research experience in the field of GlycoCLICK™-based Drug Delivery. We offer MSC-based drug delivery solutions that are specifically tailored to the unique research requirements of clients. We utilize MSCs as carriers of drugs for targeted drug delivery and release by altering the surface properties and functions of MSCs. Our strategies include but are not limited to the following.
Technology: Preparation of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, membrane separation techniques and microfluidics

Results: The article discusses a new drug delivery strategy that utilizes MSCs as carriers of drugs for targeted delivery and release by altering the surface properties and functions of MSCs. This strategy improves the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of drugs and reduces the side effects of drugs. The article also summarises the characteristics of MSCs as targeted delivery carriers. Firstly, MSCs can be isolated and expanded in vitro by simple culture procedures and their phenotypic and multidirectional differentiation potential is not lost under culture conditions. Secondly, MSCs have an established gene transfer system that can be used for stem cell reconstitution. Thirdly, there is the intrinsic targeting ability of MSCs to migrate to the vicinity of underlying inflammation and injury. They can enter solid tumors, migrate to the vicinity of injury, and interact directly with target cells for specific drug or gene delivery. Based on these characteristics, MSCs can be genetically modified by gene transfer systems to express specific therapeutic genes. These therapeutic genes can encode anticancer proteins, cytokines, or other therapeutic molecules to achieve an anticancer effect. MSCs can also be modified to stably release a variety of anticancer drugs. This can be achieved by introducing drug carriers inside the stem cells so that they release the drugs in the vicinity of the target cells.
