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 …

Human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been employed as scaffolding material in a wide
range of tissue engineering applications, especially as a skin dressing and as a graft for …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-based therapeutics are based on the premise that EVs shed by
stem cells exert similar therapeutic effects and these have been proposed as an alternative …

Stem cells have been used in a clinical setting for many years. Haematopoietic stem cells
have been used for the treatment of both haematological and non-haematological disease; …

Foetal stem cells (FSCs) can be isolated during gestation from many different tissues such
as blood, liver and bone marrow as well as from a variety of extraembryonic tissues such as …

There has been a great deal of scientific interest recently generated by the potential
therapeutic applications of adult stem cells in human care but there are several challenges …

Cryopreservation is the application of low temperatures to preserve the structural and
functional integrity of cells and tissues. Conventional cooling protocols allow ice to form and …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold many advantages over embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
and other somatic cells in clinical applications. MSCs are multipotent cells with strong …

Cryopreservation is the most prevalent method of long‐term cell preservation. Effective cell
cryopreservation depends on freezing, adequate storage, and correct thawing techniques …
