title: Sleuthing the source of regeneration by MSCs.
abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into useful cell types and also have the ability to modulate inflammation. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Lee et al. (2009) investigate the production of the soluble inflammation inhibitor TSG-6 by MSCs.
