Repair of tissues by adult stem/progenitor cells (MSCs): controversies, myths, and changing paradigms. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Research on stem cells has progressed at a rapid pace and, as might be anticipated, the results have generated several controversies, a few myths and a change in a major paradigm. Some of these issues will be reviewed in this study with special emphasis on how they can be applied to the adult stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow, referred to as MSCs.
