Abstract
In recent years, the therapeutic utility of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has received substantial attention from investigators, owing to their pleiotropic properties. The emerging insights from the developments in tissue engineering provide perspectives for the repair of damaged tissue and the replacement of failing organs. Perivascular cells including MSC-like pericytes, vascular smooth muscles, and other cells located around blood vessels, have been acknowledged to contribute to in situ angiogenesis and repair process. MSCs offer a wide array of therapeutic applications in different pathological states. However, in the current article, we have highlighted the recent updates on MSCs and their key applications in cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases, evident in different preclinical and clinical studies. We believe the present article would assist the investigators in understanding the recent advances of MSCs and exploring their therapeutic potential in varied ailments, especially cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases.
