Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy: a revolution in Regenerative Medicine?

Abstract: Because of their immunomodulatory and engraftmentpromoting properties, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been tested in the clinical setting both to facilitate haematopoietic recovery and to treat steroid-resistant acute GVHD. More recently, experimental findings and clinical trials have focused on the ability of MSCs to home to damaged tissue and to produce paracrine factors with antiinflammatory properties, resulting in functional recovery of the damaged tissue. The mechanisms through which MSCs exert … Show more

“…In view of their immunosuppressive/anti-inflammatory properties, as well as of their role in sustaining tissue repair and tropism [12,13], MSCs represent a promising immunoregulatory and regenerative therapy for many conditions, including autoimmune disorders [14][15][16]. Therefore, clarifying the interactions between MSCs and B-lymphocytes is also important for designing innovative strategies for B-cell mediated disorders.…”

“…ue to their multipotent differentiation capacity and immunomodulatory properties, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been extensively studied in recent years as a possible therapeutic tool in regenerative medicine and as a promising therapy for immunological disorders [1]. Although the mechanism of action of MSCs is not well understood, they have already entered into clinical trials and, given their low immunogenicity, few if any adverse events have emerged to date [2][3][4][5][6].…”
