Activation of regulatory T cells during inflammatory response is not an exclusive property of stem cells.

<h4>Background</h4>Sepsis and systemic-inflammatory-response-syndrome (SIRS) remain major causes for fatalities on intensive care units despite up-to-date therapy. It is well accepted that stem cells have immunomodulatory properties during inflammation and sepsis, including the activatio...
