Apoptotic mesenchymal stromal cells induce prostaglandin E2 in monocytes: implications for the monitoring of mesenchymal stromal cells activity

Extensive experience with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) in the treatment of inflammatory disorders has provided convincing evidence to support their clinical efficacy in selected cases, especially in steroid-resistant acute graft- versus -host disease (GvHD).[1][1],[2][2] Although MSC can induce
