Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells represent an adult population of nonhematopoietic cells, which can differentiate into a variety of cell types such as osteocytes, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and myocytes. They display immunomodulatory properties that have led to the consideration of their use for the inhibition of immune responses. In this context, mesenchymal stem cells efficiently inhibit maturation, cytokine production, and the T cell stimulatory capacity of dendritic cells. They also can impair proliferation, cytokine secretion, and cytotoxic potential of T lymphocytes. Moreover, mesenchymal stem cells are able to inhibit the differentiation of B cells to plasma cells by inhibiting their capacity to produce antibodies. A variety of animal models confirm the immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells. Clinical studies including patients with severe acute graft-versus-host disease have revealed that the administration of mesenchymal stem cells results in significant clinical responses. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells improve acute graft-versus-host disease and represent a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of immune-mediated diseases, due to their immunomodulatory capability and their low immunogenicity.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 January 2016.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Einstein (São Paulo)
#421
of 576 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#104,347
of 122,185 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Einstein (São Paulo)
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 576 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 122,185 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
