Hypoxia Induces Autophagy of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Activation of ERK1/2

Background: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) are the most promising seed cells for cell transplant therapy. Hypoxia is a known stimulus of autophagy. Recent studies showed that hypoxia promotes autophagy of human placental chorionic plate-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CP-MSCs)....
