Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms responsible for the inhibitory effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on dendritic cells (DCs) are still poorly understood. Our investigation of the potential signaling pathways revealed for the first time that human umbilical-cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) instruct DCs to acquire tolerogenic phenotypes through the IL-6-mediated upregulation of SOCS1. This subset of MSC-DCs exhibited a tolerogenic...
