Review: Mesenchymal stem cells and corneal reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corneal reconstruction is among the most effective methods for curing corneal injury due to various clinical disorders. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of multipotent cells distributed in various tissues, which can be easily isolated and expanded in vitro. MSCs are self-renewable and have the potential to transdifferentiate into other type of cells under certain conditions. More recently, the modulating angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties of MSCs have been confirmed in animal models. The potential roles of MSCs are valuable for corneal reconstruction. Thus, in this review, we summarized the current understanding of the possible roles of MSCs in corneal reconstruction.

Reconstructionof Human Mandibular Continuity Defects with Allogenic Scaffold and Autologousmarrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background Mandibular continuity defects occur after tumor resection, maxillofacial injury, or osteomyelitis. Despite the current availability of a plethora of treatment modalities, bone substitutes, and various clinical adjuncts, an exact reconstructive recapitulation of large bony defects continues to be beyond reach. In this clinical pilot study, we report a novel method for reconstruction ...

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...
