Our most recent paper has been published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology! The study shows that allogeneic MHC-mismatched equine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells treated with TGF-β2 had significantly reduced cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. The TGF-β2 treatment did not affect the ability of equine MSCs to inhibit allorecognition and lymphocyte proliferation or secrete PGE2 and TGF-β1, which are essential for their therapeutic potential.
