Early modulation of inflammation by mesenchymal stem cell after acute kidney injury
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-06-01)Therapy with stem cells has showed to be promising for acute kidney injury (AKI), although how it works is still controversial. Modulation of the inflammatory response is one possible mechanism. Most of published data ...
