Mesoblast (ASX: MSB & USOTC: MBLTY) Preclinical Study shows reduction of Inflammation and reverses Coronary Artery Dysfunction in RA

May 12, 2015 9:05am

Mesoblast’s publication of results in the May issue of the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One showed that its proprietary allogeneic mesenchymal precursor cells (MPCs) can reduce inflammation and reverse abnormal function of blood vessels, including the coronary arteries, in a previously published sheep model of rheumatoid arthritis.

Since patients with rheumatoid arthritis have an approximately 50% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease than the general population, these results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of MPC therapy may have an additional benefit in reducing cardiovascular risk associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
