A New Tool in Regenerative Medicine: Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), often referred to as stromal cells have been the focus in regenerative medicine for their immune suppressive ability, their ability to hone in on the site of injury, their ability to differentiate into multiple cell lines, and ease of cell culture expansion. MSCs have the ability to differentiate into a range of specialized cells of mesodermal origin bone, cartilage, fat, cardio myocytes, muscle fibers, renal tubular cells), differentiate into cells of ectodermal origin (neurons) and cells of the endodermal origin (hepatocytes and pancreatic islands). Due to these properties MSCs are considered a new and exciting treatment option in the field of regenerative medicine.
