Reducing Inflammation Enhances Tissue Regeneration in Stem Cell Therapies

22-Jul-2017

Key points from article :

With aging the immune response becomes deregulated and inflammation becomes excessive.

Improving healing by reducing the numbers of more aggressive and inflammatory types of macrophages present at the site of injury appears to be a viable approach.

Researchers hoped to inject stem cells into an injury site to encourage regeneration.

Suppressing inflammation with an anti-inflammatory drug improved the survival of transplanted stem cells.
