Leeman, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, and approved January 22, 2010 (received for review September 18, 2009) Bone marrow stromal cells [BMSCs; also known as mesenchymal Results stem cells (MSCs)] effectively suppress inflammatory responses in Lung Pathology. Following ragweed (RW) challenge (for timing of acute graft-versus-host disease in humans and in a number of the events see Fig. 1), microscopic examination of the lungs showed disease models in mice. Many of the studies concluded that BMSC- minimal or no inflammation in mice sensitized with PBS solution driven immunomodulation is mediated by the suppression of pro-
