Why Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?

MSCs play a central co-ordinating role in many of the body's mechanisms of defence, repair and regeneration: the "sensor and switcher of the immune system"1

They are able to be used therapeutically without matching the donor and the recipient

"MSCs promote an

immunosuppressive and

immunoregulatory

environment via multifactorial

mechanisms, including secretion

of proteins / peptides / hormones; transfer of mitochondria; and transfer of exosomes or microvesicles containing RNA and other molecules"2
