Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Bone Regeneration.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Bone Regeneration. Clin Orthop Surg. 2018 Sep;10(3):271-278 Authors: Jin YZ, Lee JH Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used in clinic for approximately 20 years. During this period, various new populations of MSCs have been found or manipulated. However, their characters and relative strength for bone regeneration have not been well known. For a comprehensive understanding of MSCs, we reviewed the literature on the multipotent cells ranging from the definition to the current research progress for bone regeneration. Based on our literature review, bone marrow MSCs have been most widely studied and utilized in clinical settings. Among other populations of MSCs, adipose-derived MSCs and perivascular MSCs might be potential candidates for bone regeneration, whose efficacy and safety still require further investigation.
