Peptide-Driven Mechanisms in Cell Therapy: Insights from Stem Cell Applications
26 Sep 2025
Peptide CMC & Process Development
- Stem cells used in novel cell therapies for respiratory, orthopedic, and wound healing indications naturally produce peptides with antiviral and antibacterial properties
- Understanding developments in peptide research can help explain the underlying mechanisms of stem cell resistance to contamination in long-term culture
- The antimicrobial peptide activity observed in stem cell secretions may contribute to their immunomodulatory functions and persistence in hostile microenvironments, offering a potential avenue for enhancing therapeutic durability
