Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are a type of adult stem cell found in many tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord blood. These cells show unique plasticity and can differentiate into several types of tissue, including bone, cartilage, muscle, adipose, and neural cells. They are a promising tool for regenerative medicine, as they can be used to replace dysfunctional or damaged cells, to restore tissue homeostasis. Furthermore, they can be used to generate 3D structural artifacts like organoids or tissue chips. MSCs have immunomodulatory properties, making them useful for treating autoimmune diseases and allergies.
