Abstract
There are three main types of stem cells: (1) totipotent stem cells, (2) multipotent or adult stem cells that include mesenchymal stem cells [MSCs], and (3) pluripotent stem cells that include embryonic stem cells [ESCs] and induced pluripotent stem cells [iPSCs]. Recently, stem cell therapies have gained enormous potential as various types of stem cells have been shown to potentially cure various intractable and chronic diseases. Two types of stem cells, MSCs and iPSCs, are receiving particular attention in the treatment of various infectious complications. MSCs are heterogeneous progenitor cells that have the capacity of self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation. They can be obtained from several sources including: bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood, cord blood, placenta, amniotic fluid, skin and adipose tissue. They have certain distinguishing features and their immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive properties enable them to have several therapeutic applications. On the other hand, iPSCs can be derived from a wide variety of cells and tissues, belonging to the three germ layers, and can avoid the obstacles and ethical issues that limit the use of ESCs. Their reprogramming requires the presence of several elements. They exhibit specific stringency criteria and they have certain identification properties. MSCs are essential constituents of the framework that supports organ integrity and tissue barriers.Biography
