I withdraw the prediction of a Nobel prize, although it's a very interesting piece of work. There's no mention of immunoprivileged status in the abstract.

Mesenchymal stem cell delivery of TRAIL can eliminate metastatic cancer.

It's a lentivirus method of gene therapy. Sixty two percent of the mice had no response or worse, i.e. graft versus host disease or host versus graft disease. Cancer patients are already considered immunocompromised. Any requirement for immunosuppressant drugs would increase morbidity and mortality, IMHO.
