Molecular Mechanisms Responsible for Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Treatment of Viral Diseases

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult, immunomodulatory stem cells which reside in almost all postnatal tissues. Viral antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns released from injured and infected cells activate MSCs, which elicit strong antiviral immune response. MSC-sourced interferons an...
