An increased population of CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor-associated microenvi- ronment plays an important role in cancer immune evasion. However, the underlying mechanism remains uncle...
Aim: Microvesicles (MVs) are nanoscale membrane fragments released from virtually all cell types upon activation or apoptosis, and may contribute to the beneficial effects of stem cell therapy. In this study, we in...
Mesenchymal stem cells are currently considered as a promising tool for therapeutic application in acute kidney injury(AKI) management. AKI is characterized by acute tubular injury with rapid loss of renal function. A...
