Due to toxicity and complications from a maintenance immunosuppression therapies, a necessary improvement in post-transplant immunosuppressive therapies must be the development of a low-side effect therapy. Cell-based therapies as an emerging candidate offer a novel approach to generating graft tolerance, and when utilized within a combination therapeutic strategy, they may allow for targeted allograft protection with higher safety. In this review, the results and advances of these cell-based approaches including regulatory T cells, IL-10 producing Tr1 cells, tolerogenic dendritic cells and mesenchymal stem cells in animal studies and clinical trials will be discussed and compared.
