Nitric oxide-dependent immunosuppressive function of thymus-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells
Abstract Background The thymus is required for T cell development and the formation of the adaptive immunity. Stromal cells, which include thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), are essential for thymic function. However, the immunomodulatory function of thymus-derived...
