This is the second episode of a mini series on cell-based therapies in rheumatology, with Prof. Dominique Farge discussing the use of allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). 

We cover the limited options currently available for people with severe or refractory SLE, the complexities in using MSCs, Prof. Farge's recent study results, and how these results fit in with the evidence available, as well as the future for this area of research.
