Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation modulates neuroinflammation in focal cerebral ischemia: Contribution of fractalkine and IL-5

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are reported to possess immunomodulatory properties. Previous reports have demonstrated the beneficial effects of MSC-transplantation in focal cerebral ischemia animal models. In this study, we have investigated the neuroimmunomodulatory functions of human MSCs, transpl...
