Abstract (original English)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells present in a variety of tissues during human development and in adults mainly in bone marrow. Mesenchymal stem cells may be isolated and expanded in vitro and they are capable to differentiate into a variety of tissues, including bone, cartilage, muscle and adipose tissue. In this review we briefly analyze the main biological features of MSC with particular attention to their interaction with hemopoietic system and to their differentiative properties. Finally, we focus on the main MSC applications both in the fields of genetic and tissue engineering.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
