Skin-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Atherosclerosis via Modulating Macrophage Function
23 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit immunosuppressive efficacy and significantly inhibit the formation of the atherosclerosis (AS) plaque in apolipoprotein E-knockout (apoE(-/-)) mice. Of note, the largest lymphoid organ, the skin, provides a readily accessible and ideal source of tissue for the isolation of MSCs: skin-derived MSCs (S-MSCs). However, the effect and the mechanism of the therapeutic...
