Mechanisms involved in the therapeutic properties of mesenchymal stem cells

TLDR
Some of the molecules involved in the paracrine effects of MSCs are identified with a perspective that these cells intrinsically belong to a perivascular niche in vivo, and how this knowledge could be advantageously used in clinical applications is discussed.

The MSC: An Injury Drugstore

TL;DR: Evidence that leads to the proposal that during local injury, MSCs are released from their perivascular location, become activated, and establish a regenerative microenvironment by secreting bioactive molecules and regulating the local immune response is discussed.

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells and the innate immune system

TL;DR: It is important to study the crosstalk between MSCs and innate immunity, which ranges from the bone marrow niche to injured tissue, and to identify components of the innate immune system also have a key role.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Mechanisms of Inflammation

TL;DR: A summary of ongoing clinical trials is provided to allow full comprehension of the range of diseases in which hMSC therapy may be beneficial and identification of gaps in knowledge about the mechanisms of action of therapeutic MSCs in disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Time to Change the Name!

TL;DR: The name of MSCs should be changed to Medicinal Signaling Cells to more accurately reflect the fact that these cells home in on sites of injury or disease and secrete bioactive factors that are immunomodulatory and trophic (regenerative) meaning thatThese cells make therapeutic drugs in situ that are medicinal.

Exosomes Derived from Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Liver Fibrosis

TL;DR: Results suggest that hucMSC-Ex could ameliorate CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by inhibiting EMT and protecting hepatocytes, which provides a novel approach for the treatment of fibrotic liver disease.

Minimal criteria for defining multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells. The International Society for Cellular Therapy position statement

TL;DR: The Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the International Society for Cellular Therapy proposes minimal criteria to define human MSC, believing this minimal set of standard criteria will foster a more uniform characterization of MSC and facilitate the exchange of data among investigators.

Human mesenchymal stem cells modulate allogeneic immune cell responses

Sudeepta Aggarwal, +1 more
- 15 Feb 2005 - 
TL;DR: Insight is offered into the interactions between allogeneic MSCs and immune cells and mechanisms likely involved with the in vivo MSC-mediated induction of tolerance that could be therapeutic for reduction of GVHD, rejection, and modulation of inflammation.
