Fate and long-lasting therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stromal/stem …

Over the past few decades, MSCs have emerged as the most clinically studied experimental cell therapy, with significant advances achieved in their development as a promising solution for addressing a wide range of unrelated diseases [117]. However, concerns have been raised regarding the fate of these infused therapeutic cells, which have received considerable attention under in vivo conditions, with the finding that MSCs are therapeutically effective despite the lack of engraftment [58, 118]. According to data, the survival of MSCs following transplantation could be affected by the response of the host [119, 120]. Moreover, it is worth noting that research has indicated that MSCs survival rates also increase under conditions of oxidation, heat stress, hypoxia, and nutrient deprivation [121].

An overview of mesenchymal stem cells and their potential …

Abstract There has been increased interest in using stem cells for regenerative medicine and cancer therapy in the past decade. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are among the most studied stem cells due to their unique characteristics, such as self-renewal and developmental potency to differentiate into numerous cell types. MSC use has fewer ethical challenges compared with other types of stem cells. Although a number of studies have reported the beneficial effects of MSC-based therapies in treating various diseases, their contribution to cancer therapy remains controversial. The behaviour of MSCs is determined by the interaction between intrinsic transcriptional genes and extrinsic environmental factors
