Researchers at Sechenov University have found a method to reduce inflammation and speed up tissue regeneration, the university’s press service told RIA Novosti.

“Sechenov University researchers have demonstrated that bioactive substances secreted by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from human fat tissue can ‘switch’ immune cells from an inflammatory mode to a regenerative mode,” the university said.

They noted that this approach could form the basis for new anti-inflammatory and regenerative technologies—from treating injuries to creating bioequivalent tissues.

“The next stage of research is to study the effects of these media in more complex models and assess their potential for developing biomedical products. According to the scientists, the technology could improve the integration of biomaterials and enhance the efficiency of tissue regeneration in surgery, dentistry, and regenerative medicine,” the university concluded.
