Celiac disease is caused by a number of things involving interactions between genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Lack of a comprehensive model to conduct trials on makes treating celiac disease a difficult feat. In terms of clinical trials, low incidence and variability in patients are significant obstacles in the establishment of treatments. Stem cells play a pivotal role in chronic inflammatory pathologies due to their ability to regenerate and differentiate into numerous cell types as well as their essential role in homeostasis. Mesenchymal stem cells are highly proliferating, multipotent stromal cells that can cross the HLAQ barrier and lack immunogenicity. Based on these properties, mesenchymal stem cells are able to maintain the epithelial barrier, prevent villous atrophy, and subdue inflammation in CD patients and have proven to be successful in multiple clinical trials.

Mesenchymal stem cells have been identified in its therapeutic potential to reverse damage already done by these diseases and restore vision. Mesenchymal stem cells are also the most used cell type for regeneration in many pathologies. Currently, researchers have shown promising results when tested on animals, specifically rats.

Stem cells could be used to repair or replace damaged neurons (Regenerate spinal cord), repair of damaged organs such as the liver and pancreas. Stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the term now used in preference to bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Potential uses of stem cells include restoring blood cell production, therapeutic cloning for tissue repair , and cancer treatment.

However, there are stem cells in human urine that can be used for research and potential application. This only requires a urine sample, which provides a large quantity of stem cells and good quality stem cells. These urine-derived stem cells have been used in research since the initial discovery in 2008. They can be used for cell therapy, disease modeling, and pharmacological testing. This article focuses on the most recent study from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine regarding urine-derived stem cells and telomerase activity. It examined whether or not telomerase activity affects the regenerative potential in urine-derived stem cells. The study found that positive telomerase activity stem cells had a higher population doubling and a shorter doubling time. Positive telomerase activity cells had strong positive markers for cell differentiation in osteogenic, smooth muscle, and urothelial cell lineages. There were not as many differences between positive and negative telomerase activity in their surface markers except positive telomerase activity cells had more cells with a strong positive expression of CD105. to donate the that are not used to research.
