The Comparison of Interleukin 6–Associated Immunosuppressive Effects of Human ESCs, Fetal-Type MSCs, and Adult-Type MSCs

Abstract

The ease of obtaining fetal-type MSCs and their rapid proliferation make these cells ideal candidates for cell-based therapies, especially for diseases associated with immune responses, given the immunosuppressive effects of these cells. IL-6 might play an important role in the immunosuppressive effects of various stem cells.
