ABSTRACT: Introduction
Three-dimensional (3D) clumps of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/extracellular matrix (ECM) complexes, composed with cells and self-produced intact ECM, can be grafted into defect areas without artificial scaffold to induce successful bone regeneration. Moreover, C-MSCs pretreated with IFN-γ (C-MSCsγ) increased the immunomodulatory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression and thereby inhibited T cell activity. Xenotransplantation of human C-MSCsγ suppressed host T cell immune rejection and induced bone regeneration in mice. Besides, we have also reported that C-MSCs retain the 3D structure and bone regenerative property even after cryopreservation. To develop the "off-the-shelf" cell preparation for bone regenerative therapy that is promptly provided when need
