UCB-MSCs

Increase the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 to protect UCB-MSCs from high glucose-induced mitochondrial ROS production, and thereby protect the cells from autophagic cell death

NP-MSCs

Decrease the compression-induced overproduction of ROS, protect cell viability and cell proliferation of NP-MSCs, and alleviate the toxic effects caused by compression
