Abstract excerpt
Sepsis occurs due to a damaging host response to infection and is the chief cause of death in most intensive care units. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit immunomodulatory properties and can modulate key cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems through various effector mechanisms, such as exosomes. Exosomes and their microRNA (miRNA or miR) cargo including miR-21 can initiate profound phenotypic...
