Eight Potential Beneficial Effects of MSCs in Kidney Transplantation
I.	Angiogenesis/arteriogenesis [25,38]	V.	Increase in T regulatory cells [16]
II.	Decreased fibrosis [39,52,53]	VI.	Inhibition of cytotoxic T cell proliferation [15]
III.	Decreased inflammation [39,40,51]	VII.	Less tissue damage (lower LDA and MDA) [50]
IV.	Improved function of glomeruli and tubuli [52]	VIII.	Upregulation of genes encoding proteins involved in improved membrane transport of ions [50]
