Intracellular role of IL-6 in mesenchymal stromal cell immunosuppression and proliferation

Abstract Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of hematological and immune responses. IL-6 is secreted chiefly by stromal cells, but little is known about its precise role in the homeostasis of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and the role it may play in hMSC...
