Mesencchymal Stem Cells: Sources and Properties in Regenerative Medicine - Abstract
Stem cells application in regenerative medicine is the new goal on stem cell research. However, still exist some problems to use stem cells safely mainly by immune rejection and by cancer development issues. One type of stem cells, the mesenchymal stem cells are promising therapeutic cells that shown unique immunomodulatory properties. On the other hand, some issues regarding MSCs participation on cancer promotion or cancer inhibition remain to be elucidated. In this review, we address the current knowledge about interaction between MSCs and cancer cells.
