Interferon-γ enhances the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cells on experimental renal fibrosis

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) administered for therapeutic purposes can be activated by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secreted from natural killer cells in injured tissues and exert anti-inflammatory effects. These processes require a substantial period of time, leading to a delayed onset of MSCs’ t...
