T108 |
0-115 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Stem cells have been studied extensively for their ability to regenerate and for the treatment of various diseases. |
T109 |
116-261 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recently, we devised an improved protocol for the isolation of urine-derived stem cells and their further differentiation into immune cells (95). |
T110 |
262-378 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, our research group promoted the hematopoietic differentiation of hiPSCs using a novel small molecule (96). |
T111 |
379-513 |
Sentence |
denotes |
At the advent of COVID-19, it has become mandatory to discover therapeutic strategies that are easily reproducible and cost effective. |
T112 |
514-613 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Drugs currently available for the treatment of COVID-19 include ones that target viral replication. |
T113 |
614-787 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These drugs include camo-stat mesylate, which is involved in the inhibition of viral fusion to the cell membrane, and favipiravir and remdesivir, which are anti-viral drugs. |
T114 |
788-968 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, because the cytokine storm is found predominantly in COVID-19 patients, it is essential to consider drugs that inhibit viral replication while treating the cytokine storm. |
T115 |
969-1041 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Hence, MSC-Exos may be appropriate therapeutic agents for COVID-19 (97). |
T116 |
1042-1183 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MSCs can be more advantageous than other anti-inflammatory agents, because they can provide immunomodulatory effects based on the host cells. |
T117 |
1184-1420 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition to these effects, MSCs can prevent fibrosis of tissues, enable reversal of lung dysfunction, and aid in the regeneration of damaged tissue, which can be significantly beneficial for COVID-19-associated organ damage (98, 99). |
T118 |
1421-1583 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Because the healing properties of the MSCs can be primarily attributed to the secretomes or exosomes, using them may be more effective than using MSCs themselves. |
T119 |
1584-1720 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Exosomes can be mass-produced, administered systematically with minimaltoxicity, and be able to reach the cell targets more efficiently. |
T120 |
1721-1841 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition to their inherent immunomodulatory potential, the MSC-Exos can also be used as a drug-delivery system (100). |
T121 |
1842-2035 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MSC-Exos can be modified in vivo to release exosomes that have a higher immunomodulatory potential (101) and can be cultured using various cytokines to exhibit an anti-inflammatory state (102). |
T122 |
2036-2182 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although MSC-Exos appear to be promising thera-peutic agents for COVID-19, more experimental research is necessary for them to be used clinically. |
T123 |
2183-2304 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, it is es-sential to optimize the protocols for storage and isolation of MSC-Exos for the treatment of COVID-19. |
T124 |
2305-2453 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It is also imperative to do experiments to understand the underlying mechanisms of COVID-19 in order to optimize MSC-Exo therapy for treatment (97). |
T125 |
2454-2573 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Further, it is also essential to find the optimum dosage, route of administration, and treatment schedule for MSC-Exos. |
T126 |
2574-2723 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Hence, since MSCs are more widely studied in these aspects than are MSC-Exos, they are predominantly preferred in clinical trials for COVID-19 (103). |
