In autoimmune disorders, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues — joints in rheumatoid arthritis, multiple organs in lupus, or the nervous system in multiple sclerosis. The result is chronic inflammation and progressive damage.
Mesenchymal stem cells are being studied for their immunomodulatory properties: rather than suppressing the whole immune system, they may help restore a more balanced response.
How MSCs may influence the immune system
Calm overactive cells
They may reduce the activity of inflammatory T cells and cytokines.
Promote tolerance
They may support regulatory T cells that help the body tolerate its own tissues.
Protect tissue
Their signals may help protect joints, nerves and organs from ongoing damage.
