Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs),progenitor cells with the ability of self replication and differentiation,are able to change into many kinds of cells or tissues.The study of acupuncture combined with MSCs transplantation has made some progress and shown potential application prospect.This article summarized experimental research literatures of acupuncture combined with MSCs transplantation over the past ten years.Biological mechanisms of acupuncture combined with MSCs transplantation might be related to the increase of MSCs survival rate and the directional differentiation of MSCs induced by acupuncture.The combination of acupuncture and MSCs transplantation might be used as a potential routine technique in clinical practice.The underlying mechanisms still need to be further elucidated.
