. 2017 Mar;
114(13):E2598-E2607.
PMID: 28283659
Human mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) lines can vary significantly in their functional characteristics, and the effectiveness of MSC-based therapeutics may be realized by finding predictive features associated with MSC function....

3(5):e277.
PMID: 27648464
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMO/SD) and its clinical variants have at their core the loss of immune tolerance to aquaporin-4 and perhaps other autoantigens. The characteristic phenotype is disruption of...

Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm
. 2016 Sep;
3(5):e276.
PMID: 27648463
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and spectrum disorder (NMO/SD) represent a vexing process and its clinical variants appear to have at their pathogenic core the loss of immune tolerance to the aquaporin-4...

J Immunol
. 2015 Oct;
195(11):5203-14.
PMID: 26482409
Regulatory T cells (Treg) play a crucial role in the maintenance of self-tolerance. In this study, we sought to expand Ag-specific Tregs in vivo and investigate whether the expanded Tregs...

Klinker M, Wei C
World J Stem Cells
. 2015 Apr;
7(3):556-67.
PMID: 25914763
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells [also known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)] are currently being studied as a cell-based treatment for inflammatory disorders. Experimental animal models of human immune-mediated diseases have...

Cell Biosci
. 2015 Apr;
4:51.
PMID: 25908962
Naturally occurring regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a pivotal role in the maintenance of self-tolerance due to their intrinsic immunosuppressive activity. Currently, a number of human clinical trials are being...

Stem Cell Res Ther
. 2014 Jan;
4(5):128.
PMID: 24406271
Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunosuppressive activity. They do not induce allospecific T cell responses, making them promising tools for reducing the severity of graft versus host disease (GVHD)...

Xenotransplantation
. 2010 Oct;

PMID: 20955290
The use of xenogeneic porcine pancreatic islets has been shown to be a potentially promising alternative to using human allogeneic islets to treat insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes (T1D). This article...

J Immunol
. 2008 Apr;
180(8):5275-82.
PMID: 18390708
The maintenance of T cell tolerance in the periphery proceeds through several mechanisms, including anergy, immuno-regulation, and deletion via apoptosis. We examined the mechanism underlying the induction of CD8 T...

179(12):8280-6.
PMID: 18056372
Cross-priming is the process in which Ag-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) acquire, process, and present Ags scavenged from other cells, and use these cells to activate naive CD8 T cells. Cross-priming...
