Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent, self-renewing cells that can be found mainly in the
bone marrow, and other post-natal organs and tissues. The ease of isolation and expansion, together
with the immunomodulatory properties and their capability to migrate to sites of infl ammation and
tumours make them a suitable candidate for therapeutic use in the clinical settings. We review here
the cellular mechanisms underlying the emerging applications of MSC in various fi elds.
