Background aims. Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) are attractive sources for cell-based therapies. The hypoxic niche of ASCs in vivo implies that will benefit from hypoxia during vitro expansion. Human platelet lysate (hPL) enhances ASC proliferation rates, compared with fetal bovine serum (FBS) at normoxia. However, the low rates FBS-expanded could be signs senescence or quiescence. We aimed to determine effects and hPL on expansion whether senescent quiescent. Methods. expanded FBS...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by progressive neurodegeneration and characterised motor dysfunction. Neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons also causes aberrations within the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) circuit, which has been hypothesised to lead non-motor symptoms such as depression. Individuals with PD have both lower synaptic density changes in neuronal metabolic function basal ganglia, measured using [11C]UCB-J [18F]FDG positron emission tomography (PET),...
