Galectin-9 is required for endometrial regenerative cells to induce long-term cardiac allograft survival in mice

Abstract Background Endometrial regenerative cells (ERCs), a novel type of mesenchymal-like stem cells, were identified as an attractive candidate for immunoregulation and induction of cardiac allograft tolerance. However, the underlying mechanisms of ERCs in immune regulation still remain largely u...
