Human bone marrow stroma provides a microenvironment for hematopoietic stem cells. This review details mesenchymal stem cells, their isolation, characteristics, and therapeutic potential.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Human bone marrow stroma is crucial for hematopoietic stem cell regulation.
  • Stroma comprises hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, including mesenchymal stem cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define bone marrow stroma and mesenchymal stem cells.
  • To review isolation, characterization, and functional properties of mesenchymal stem cells.
  • To explore therapeutic applications of mesenchymal stem cells.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on mesenchymal stem cell research.
  • Analysis of morphological and phenotypic characterization techniques.
  • Evaluation of functional and differentiation studies.

Main Results:

  • Mesenchymal stem cells are a homogeneous population within the non-hematopoietic stroma.
  • Established methods allow for isolation and characterization of these cells.
  • Demonstrated potential for differentiation into various cell types.

Conclusions:

  • Mesenchymal stem cells are key components of the bone marrow microenvironment.
  • Their isolation and characterization are well-defined.
  • Significant therapeutic applications are emerging for mesenchymal stem cells.
