Abstract
A limited number of tissues can spontaneously regenerate following injury, and even fewer can regenerate to a state comparable to mature, healthy adult tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were first described in the 1960s-1970s by Friedenstein et al as a small population of bone marrow cells with osteogenic potential and abilities to differentiate into chondrocytes. In 1991, Arnold Caplan coined the term "mesenchymal cells" after identifying these cells as a theoretical precursor to bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, marrow stroma, adipocyte, dermis, muscle, and connective tissues. MSCs are derived from periosteum, fat, and muscle. Another attractive property of MSCs is their immunoregulatory and regenerative properties, which result from crosstalk with their microenvironment and components of the innate immune system. Collectively, these properties make MSCs potentially attractive for various therapeutic purposes. MSCs offer potential in sports medicine, aiding in muscle recovery, meniscal tears, and tendon and ligament injuries. In joint disease, MSCs have the potential for chondrogenesis and reversing the effects of osteoarthritis. MSCs have also demonstrated potential application to the treatment of degenerative disc disease of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
期刊介绍:
STEM CELLS Translational Medicine is a monthly, peer-reviewed, largely online, open access journal.
STEM CELLS Translational Medicine works to advance the utilization of cells for clinical therapy. By bridging stem cell molecular and biological research and helping speed translations of emerging lab discoveries into clinical trials, STEM CELLS Translational Medicine will help move applications of these critical investigations closer to accepted best patient practices and ultimately improve outcomes.
The journal encourages original research articles and concise reviews describing laboratory investigations of stem cells, including their characterization and manipulation, and the translation of their clinical aspects of from the bench to patient care. STEM CELLS Translational Medicine covers all aspects of translational cell studies, including bench research, first-in-human case studies, and relevant clinical trials.
