Regulating immunogenicity and tolerogenicity of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells through modulation of cell surface glycosylation by dexamethasone treatment
(Frontiers Media, 2017-10-30)
Dendritic cellular therapies and dendritic cell vaccines show promise for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the prolongation of graft survival in transplantation, and in educating the immune system to fight cancers. ...
Minimum information about tolerogenic antigen-presenting cells (MITAP): a first step towards reproducibility and standardisation of cellular therapies
(PeerJ, 2016-08-30)
Cellular therapies, with tolerogenic antigen-presenting cells (tolAPC) show great promise for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and for the prevention of destructive immune responses after transplantation The methodologies ...
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy to promote corneal allograft survival: current status and pathway to clinical translation
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2016-12)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article reviews the literature on the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to prolong corneal allograft survival.
RECENT FINDINGS: To date, only small numbers studies have ...
Minimum information about T Regulatory Cells: A step toward reproducibility and standardization
(Frontiers Media, 2018-01-15)
Cellular therapies with CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) hold promise of efficacious treatment for the variety of autoimmune and allergic diseases as well as posttransplant complications. Nevertheless, current manufacturing ...
Anti-donor immune responses elicited by allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells and their extracellular vesicles: Are we still learning?
(Frontiers Media, 2017-11-24)
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been used to treat a broad range of disease indications such as acute and chronic inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, and transplant rejection due to their potent immunosuppr ...
Extracellular vesicles as modulators of wound healing
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
Impaired healing of cutaneous wounds and ulcers continues to have a major impact on the quality of life of millions of people. In recent years, the capacity for stem and progenitor cells to promote wound repair has been ...
Third-party allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells prevent rejection in a pre-sensitized high-risk model of corneal transplantation
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-20)
High-risk cornea transplant recipients represent a patient population with significant un-met medical need for more effective therapies to prevent immunological graft rejection due to heightened anti-donor immune response. ...
vIL-10-overexpressing human MSCs modulate naïve and activated T lymphocytes following induction of collagenase-induced osteoarthritis
(2016-05-18)
Recent efforts in osteoarthritis (OA) research have highlighted synovial inflammation and involvement of immune cells in disease onset and progression. We sought to establish the in-vivo immune response in collagenase-induced ...
TNF-a/IL-1ß-licensed mesenchymal stromal cells promote corneal allograft survival via myeloid cell-mediated induction of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in the lung.
(Federation of American Society of Experimental Biology (FASEB), 2019-05-20)
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown promise as a therapy for immune-mediated disorders, including transplant rejection. Our group previously demonstrated the efficacy of pretransplant, systemic administration of ...
Stromal cell PD-L1iInhibits CD8(+) T-cell antitumor immune responses and promotes colon cancer
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2018-11)
Stromal cells of mesenchymal origin reside below the epithelial compartment and provide structural support in the intestine. These intestinal stromal cells interact with both the epithelial cell compartments, as well as ...
