For Brain Awareness Week we're sharing the latest research highlights of one of our scientific publications. We create these summaries for people who would like to learn about our research without reading the full paper. 'Umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells induce a memory phenotype in CD4+ T cells' was co-authored by PREMSTEM researchers Ezgi Sengun, Tim Wolfs, Valéry van Bruggen, Daan Ophelders, Irma Joosten and Renate van der Molen. The goal of the study was to create a cell culture model to observe the long-term effects of human mesenchymal stem cells (H-MSCs) on activated T cells. The aim was to better understand how H-MSCs can influence the immune system and help manage inflammation, especially in vulnerable populations like preterm babies. The results suggest that stem cells from umbilical cord tissue or blood could help to control inflammation and immune responses, possibly offering a way to improve the body’s healing processes.
