Do mesenchymal stem cells function across species barriers? Relevance for xenotransplantation
1 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Allogeneic mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSC) are a promising therapy for various pathological conditions. Genetically modified pig MSC have been demonstrated to downregulate the human T-cell response to pig antigens in vitro. Before genetically modified pig MSC can be used clinically, however, evidence needs to be provided to indicate whether they will survive in a human (xenogeneic) host....
