  Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) possess a multi-lineage potential and immunoregulatory activities which provides them a great potential in cell-oriented technologies. However, their biologic properties may be impaired in various pathologies, so approaches to improving the ability of MSCs to expand and express the expected immunoregulatory properties represent one of the challenges for this novel therapy. In the present study, we characterized bone marrow-derived MSC expansion along with their functional properties in patients with hematological malignancies, and designed a strategy of ex vivo pretreatment with the basic fibroblast growth factor (FGFb) to improve MSC activities. Our results demonstrated those patients MSCs are generally consistent with the Minimal criteria proposed by International Society for Cellular Therapy to design MSCs, and, moreover, possess a ..
