Are the immunomodulatory properties of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells defined according to multiple immunobiological criteria?
Collectively, hBM-MSCs are able to modulate the main steps involved in T-cell response toward a tolerogenic state. Thus, establishing immunobiological criteria defining the immunosuppressive effect of hBM-MSCs is of importance to reach efficient immunotherapeutic intervention.
Moderate MCA atherosclerotic stenosis may be responsible for parent territorial stroke. Novel arterial wall magnetic resonance imaging techniques should now be used to investigate in vivo the hypothesis that moderate MCA stenosis is a possible explanation in patients with nonfatal stroke of unknown cause.
