چکیده
The study of stem cells is one of the most stimulating areas of current biomedical research. Recent studies in the field of Orthopaedics mainly focuses on the development, growth, function, and health of the musculoskeletal system, the biology of adult stem cells, and the utilization of this knowledge to develop technologies that will regenerate and/or restore function to diseased and damaged musculoskeletal tissues. The aim is to combine both basic and clinical translational research via stem cell biology and therapies.
