Adipose-derived, autologous mesenchymal stem cell therapy for patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome: an intermediate-size expanded access program Abstract Background Evolving mutations of the novel coronavirus continue to fuel up the pandemic. The virus affects the human respiratory system along...

Abstract Background A growing evidence base supports the use of autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) for treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), but it has not yet been integrated into most national clinical guidelines. The objective of this study was...

This review highlights the well-known immunomodulatory effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an alternative therapy for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Recent studies have shown that MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, exhibit similar therapeutic effects. The...

In-depth virological and immunological characterization of HIV-1 cure after CCR5Δ32/Δ32 allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Jensen et al Despite scientific evidence originating from two patients published to date that CCR5Δ32/Δ32 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can...
