Is ephA2 a biomarker of hMSCs derived from human placenta and umbilical cord?
EphA2 can be used to distinguish and isolate MSCs from a primary culture of placenta-derived cells. EphA2-sorted MSCs exhibited superior responsiveness to TNF-α signaling in an inflammatory environment compared with unsorted MSCs or MSC-like cells.
Severe deficiency of vitamin D was independently associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia in patients with HCV infection.
