Mesenchymal Stem Cells plays a vital role in
 Wound Repair

It has been scientifically proven that stem cells play a crucial role in tissue renewal and regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are those parts of the most important population of adult stem cells which helps in Repair and Regeneration of tissue. MSCs have been isolated from various sites like connective tissues, such as adipose tissue, muscle, placenta, umbilical cord matrix, blood, liver, and dental pulp. Bone marrow. MSCs also act as a therapeutic agent for regenerative medicine, immune disorders, cancer, and gene therapy.
Mesenchymal stems cells (MSCs) are frequently found in bone marrow and they play a vital role in repair of damaged organs. The transformation of a single MSC into complex tissue like bone and cartilage, then starts with its association with other MSCs in order to form microscopic clusters via a process called as condensation.


Wound healing requires a coordinated interaction between cells, growth factors, and extracellular proteins. In this process the endogenous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC), this coordinates the repair response by recruiting other host cells and secreting growth factors and matrix proteins. MSCs are self-renewing multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into various lineages of mesenchymal origin such as bone, fat, cartilage and tendon. In addition to multilineage differentiation capacity, MSCs regulate the immune response and then possess powerful tissue protective and reparative mechanisms by making these cells attractive for treatment of different diseases. 


The beneficial effect of the exogenous MSCs on wound healing was observed in a variety of animal models and in reported clinical cases. Specifically, they have been successfully used to treat chronic wounds and stimulate healing processes. Recent studies revealed that human placental membranes are the rich source of MSCs for tissue regeneration and repair. This review provides a brief summary of current knowledge of functional properties of MSCs and describes the use of MSCs for wound healing. Characterization of MSCs containing skin substitutes, demonstrating the presence of cytokines and key growth factors uniquely suited to aid in wound repair and Regeneration.

Fasting May Regenerate Stem Cells in Humans Intestinal stem cells begin to lose their ability to regenerate according to age. These stem cells are the source for all new intestinal cells, so this decline can make it more difficult to recover from gastrointestinal infections or other conditions that affect the intestine. According to a new study, this age-related loss of stem cell function can be reversed by a 24-hour fast. The researchers found that fasting dramatically improves stem cells’ ability to regenerate, in both Young and aged mice. In fasting mice, cells begin breaking down fatty acids instead of glucose; this change stimulates the stem cells to become more regenerative. Such an intervention could potentially help older people recovering from GI infections or the cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Intestinal stem cells are responsible for maintaining the lining of the intestine, which typically renews itself in every five days. When an injury or any infection

A soft spot for stem cells helps cornea healing New research developed by scientists which reveals a potential revolutionary way to treat eye injuries and prevent blindness by softening the tissue hosting the stem cells. It has been discovered that a simple application of collagenase, a tissue softening enzyme prevents the loss of corneal stem cells following an injury and could prevent patients from losing their sight. This shows that keeping corneal stem cells in a soft environment is fundamental for their reproduction, self-renewal and ability to heal the damaged tissue. It offers hope to almost 500,000 people a year who lose their sight due to chemical burns including acid attacks.  Scientists were able to determine that the corneal stem cell niche, the area of tissue in the cornea where stem cells live is a much softer environment than the rest of the tissue and stiffening the niche causes stem cells to mature and lose their self-renewing and wound healing properties

Could hair cell regeneration be a treatment for deafness? Researchers have proposed the use embryonic stem cells for in vitro inner ear studies to potentially be a treatment for deafness. Deafness due to disease, ageing or birth defects is caused by the loss of hair cells in the inner ear, the hairs which are responsible for the detection of equilibrium and sound. Currently, deafness is a progressive and irreversible condition in humans, with the typical treatment to be the use of hearing aids. The scientists proposed to use embryonic stem cells (ESCs) as a platform for in-vitro inner ear studies. Embryonic Stem cells establish an alternative and powerful approach to generate unlimited numbers of hair cells in a simple culture dish without the use of animals. Through genetic manipulation of embryonic stem cells to activate expression of these transcriptional regulators, a direct and robust conversion of stem cells into a hair cell phenotype was successfully achieved.
