Double faced role of human mesenchymal stem cells and their role challenges in cancer therapy.

abstract：:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can be obtained from human bone marrow aspirates and, thanks to their differentiation potential and excellent in vitro culture properties, represent an attractive cell line for the regeneration of mesenchymal tissue. Both in vitro and in vivo, they can differentiate into cartilage, bone, t...
