CONCLUSIONS HMVEC-Ls can replace HUVECs as a cell source for scaffold-free trachea-like structures. However, some limitations were associated with iPSC-derived endothelial cells. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are characterized by immunomodulatory properties along with the high proliferative and paracrine activity, as well as multilineage potency. The effects of MSCs on the T cell adaptive immunity are of a special interest. Low O2 level (1-7 %) is known to be typical for the putative site of the MSC - T cell interactions. A comparative evaluation of the effects of adipose tissue derived MSC (ASCs) on the mitogen-stimulated T cells at the ambient (20 %) and tissue-related (5 %) O2 levels demonstrated reduced T cell activation by the HLA-DR expression, decreased pro-inflammatory and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine production in co-culture, inhibited T cell proliferation, with the effects increased at hypoxia. T cell interactions with ASCs resulted in the up-regulation of PDCD1, Foxp3, and TGFβ1 known to play an important role in the immune response suppression, and in the down-regulation of genes involved in the inflammatory reaction (IL2, IFNG). These changes were significantly increased under hypoxia. At the same time, neither ASCs nor the reduced O2 level had negative effects on the viability of T cells. Salivary epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in the maintenance of the oral and gastro-esophageal mucosa. Sialoadenectomy delays healing of oral wounds and affects lingual papillae. In this work, we aimed to determine the effect of EGF deficiency induced by sialoadenectomy and evaluate the effect of exogenous EGF administration on the lingual papillae and taste buds in r
