Mesenchymal stem cells regulate the Th17/Treg cell balance partly through hepatocyte growth factor in vitro

Abstract Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert immunomodulatory functions by inducing the development and differentiation of naive T cells into T cells with an anti-inflammatory regulatory T cell (Treg) phenotype. Our previous study showed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) secreted by M...
