Abstract | Studies of mesenchymal stem (or stromal) cells (MSCs) have moved from bedside to bench and back again. The stromal cells or fibroblasts are found in all tissues and participate in building the extracellular matrix (ECM). Bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs have been studied for more than 50 years and have multiple roles. They function as stem cells and give rise to bone, cartilage, and fat in the BM (these are stem cells); support hematopoiesis (pericytes); and participate in sensing environmental changes and balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory conditions. In disease states, they migrate to sites of injury and release cytokines, hormones, nucleic acids depending on the microenvironment they find. Clinicians have begun to exploit these properties of BM, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord MSCs because they are easy to harvest and expand in culture. In this review, I describe the uses to which MSCs have been put, list ongoing clinical trials by organ system, and outline how MSCs are thought to regulate the innate and adaptive immune systems. I will discuss some of the reasons why clinical applications are still lacking. Much more work will have to be done to find the sources, doses, and culture conditions needed to exploit MSCs optimally and learn their healing potential. They are worth the effort. |
