Mechanical barriers to MSC trafficking via systemic circulation. The large cell size of MSCs, particularly following ex vivo expansion, is a significant physical barrier that prevents efficient and complete dispersion through small vessels in the vascular network. This severely limits access of exogenously introduced MSCs to many target tissues, including tumors. Abbreviations: D, diameter; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell; V, volume.
