Human mesenchymal stem cells induce T cell anergy and downregulate T cell allo-responses via the TH2 pathway: relevance to tissue engineering human heart valves.

TL;DR: Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are reported as a suitable allogeneic cell source for tissue-engineered heart valves and downregulate T cell responses through direct contact and secretion of anti-inflammatory and tolerogenic cytokines, which may involve the recruitment of regulatory T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocyte entry leads to degradation of autoreactive CD8 T cells

TL;DR: This work identifies a unique mechanism of peripheral deletion in which naïve autoreactive CD8 T cells are rapidly eliminated in the liver after intrahepatic activation, and proposes that this “suicidal emperipolesis” is aunique mechanism of autore active T-cell deletion, a process critical for the maintenance of tolerance.
