Abstract
Novel therapies are urgently needed to combat the severe cytokine storm syndromes induced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). An increasing number of preclinical and clinical investigations of stem cell and derivatives therapy for COVID-19 were being carried out, among which several studies have preliminarily demonstrated the safety and possible efficacy of stem cell transplantation therapy, providing a hint to solve the tricky situation of anti-COVID-19.
