Combination cell therapy using mesenchymal stem cells and regulatory T-cells provides a synergistic immunomodulatory effect associated with reciprocal regulation of TH1/TH2 and th17/treg cells in a murine acute graft-versus-host disease model.

Abstract excerpt

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered to be an ideal cellular source for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) treatment due to their unique properties, including tissue repair and major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-unmatched immunosuppression. However, preclinical and clinical data have suggested that the immunomodulatory activity of MSCs is not as effective as previously expected. This study was...
