Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital have engineered human mesenchymal adult stem cells (one cell shown, in red) to contain tiny depots (green) that can influence the behavior of the cells and those surrounding them, including their survival, differentiation, or production of a therapeutic protein. Left is Jeffrey Karp, co-director of the Center for Regenerative Therapeutics at Brigham & Women's Hospital, right is James A. Ankrum, co-first author on the paper and an HST graduate student. Not shown: Debanjan Sarkar, also a co‑first author of the paper, now at the University of Buffalo.
