Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells protect against experimental colitis via CD5+ B regulatory cells

Abstract Background To clarify the effect of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSCs) treatment on colitis and to explore the role of CD5+ B cells in MSC therapy. Methods The trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis mouse model was used. HUC-MSCs were transferred peri...
