The Immunostimulatory Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for formation of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Lupus Nephritis
Hovd, Aud-Malin Karlsson (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-15)Formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) occurs in tissues targeted by chronic inflammatory processes, such as infection and autoimmunity. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), TLS have been observed in the kidneys of lupus-prone mice and in kidney biopsies of SLE patients with Lupus Nephritis (LN). Here the role of tissue-specific mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as lymphoid tissue organizer ...
