Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are present in all organs and tissues. Several studies have
shown the therapeutic potential effect of MSC or their derived products. However, the …

Fibroblasts, the principal cell type of connective tissue, secrete extracellular matrix
components during tissue development, homeostasis, repair and disease. Despite this …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are isolated from multiple biological tissues—adult bone
marrow and adipose tissues and neonatal tissues such as umbilical cord and placenta. In …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) hold great potential for regenerative medicine because of
their ability for self-renewal and differentiation into tissue-specific cells such as osteoblasts …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the major cell type in blood vessels. Unlike
many other mature cell types in the adult body, VSMC do not terminally differentiate but …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be isolated from almost all tissues and effectively
expanded in vitro. Although their true in situ properties and biological functions remain to be …

Chronic diseases confer tissue and organ damage that reduce quality of life and are largely
refractory to therapy. Although stem cells hold promise for treating degenerative diseases …

Pericytes, the mural cells of blood microvessels, have recently come into focus as regulators
of vascular morphogenesis and function during development, cardiovascular homeostasis …

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) comprise a heterogeneous population of cells with
multilineage differentiation potential, the ability to modulate oxidative stress, and secrete …

Originally isolated from bone marrow, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have since been
obtained from various fetal and post-natal tissues and are the focus of an increasing number …
