Mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and roles in regenerative medicine

Abstract excerpt

Adult stem cells with multi or unipotent differentiation potential are present in almost all tissues of adult organisms. The main function of these stem cells is to support normal repair and rejuvenation of diseased and aging tissues. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from the bone marrow have the potential to differentiate into multiple connective tissues. Advancements in understanding tissue specific...
