Abstract

Craniofacial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), isolated from an abundant and accessible source of craniofacial tissues, possess self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential. It has been reported that craniofacial MSCs show elevated proliferation and regeneration capacities compared to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Furthermore, the immunomodulatory property has generated an emerging multidisciplinary research field that translates MSC-based therapies to the clinic for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Due to tremendous unmet clinical needs, it was extensively investigated how craniofacial MSCs impose their therapeutic effects, especially by interacting with immune cells. Mechanically, MSCs take advantage of a variety of pathways to regulate immune cells, including paracrine signaling such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathways, and cell-cell contact Fas/FasL signaling-induced apoptosis. In return, immune cells attenuate MSC function by secreting inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. This perspective review critically discusses the interaction of craniofacial MSCs with the immune milieu, as well as the underlying molecular mechanism contributing to the future improved therapeutic effects of craniofacial MSCs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 26 June 2017.
All research outputs
#12,983,696
of 22,982,639 outputs
Outputs from Stem Cell Research & Therapy
#860
of 2,428 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#149,341
of 315,940 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Stem Cell Research & Therapy
#26
of 63 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,982,639 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,428 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
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 315,940 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 63 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
