Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells, found in tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord, that can differentiate into cell types including bone, cartilage, fat, and other connective-tissue lineages. They are of central interest in regenerative medicine because of this differentiation capacity together with their trophic, immunomodulatory, and tissue-repair properties. Research on mesenchymal stem cells addresses their tissue sources, their differentiation potential, and their therapeutic application across organ systems. Work published by the journal includes the use of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs as a source of odontoblasts through a clinical-grade approach, the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived MSCs in premature ovarian insufficiency and ovarian aging, and the effect of bone-marrow and adipose MSCs on chemotherapy-induced intestinal injury. The field connects closely with tissue engineering and scaffold design, reflected in studies of calcium-orthophosphate and other scaffolds for bone-tissue applications and of biocompatible scaffolds for stem-cell transplantation. Related research considers stem-cell therapies in regenerative medicine more broadly, cell therapy explored in other disease contexts, the influence of substrate stiffness on cell behavior, and questions surrounding cancer stem cells. Together these aspects highlight how mesenchymal stem cells bridge developmental biology, biomaterials, and clinical regenerative therapy.
