Mesenchymal stromal cell‐secreted CCL2 promotes antibacterial defense mechanisms through increased antimicrobial peptide expression in keratinocytes

Abstract Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from both humans and horses, which represent a clinically relevant translation animal model for human cutaneous wound healing, were recently found to possess antimicrobial properties against planktonic bacteria, and in the case of equine MSCs, also against b...
