Concise review: mesenchymal stem cells for diabetes.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have already made their mark in the young field of regenerative medicine. Easily derived from many adult tissues, their therapeutic worth has already been validated for a number of conditions. Unlike embryonic stem cells, neither their procurement nor their use is deemed controversial. Here we review the potential use of MSCs for the treatment of type 1 diabetes me...
متن کاملConcise review: role of mesenchymal stem cells in wound repair.
Wound healing requires a coordinated interplay among cells, growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins. Central to this process is the endogenous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC), which coordinates the repair response by recruiting other host cells and secreting growth factors and matrix proteins. MSCs are self-renewing multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into various lineages of me...
متن کاملA Concise Review on the Definitions of Cancer Stem Cells
Although the notion of proposing and investigating cells that might possess a vague biological capacity of “Stamm (phylum)” could be traced back to the late nineteenth century, such endeavors were mainly focused on searching for cells capable to produce the germline or the entire blood system. Influenced by the original reasoning tracks, contemporary research outcomes not only scientifically en...
متن کاملConcise Review: Cancer Cells, Cancer Stem Cells, and Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Influence in Cancer Development
Tumors are composed of different types of cancer cells that contribute to tumor heterogeneity. Among these populations of cells, cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in cancer initiation and progression. Like their stem cells counterpart, CSCs are also characterized by self-renewal and the capacity to differentiate. A particular population of CSCs is constituted by mesenchymal stem c...
متن کاملConcise Review: Stem Cells for Corneal Wound Healing
Corneal wound healing is a complex process that occurs in response to various injuries and commonly used refractive surgery. It is a significant clinical problem, which may lead to serious complications due to either incomplete (epithelial) or excessive (stromal) healing. Epithelial stem cells clearly play a role in this process, whereas the contribution of stromal and endothelial progenitors i...
