[Menstrual blood stem cells as a potential substrate of cell therapy]
Abstract:
Cell replacement and restorative therapies have great perspectives in the treatment of various diseases and traumas. Various types of stem cells, most different in the biological properties, are evaluated as the potential substrates of cell therapy for such diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) posses relatively high proliferative activity and high level of plasticity, and can be differentiated not only to the cells of the mesenchymal lineage, but also to the neurons. Among the MSC populations, a population of endometrial stem cells, including that present in the menstrual blood, is available most readily. In the current study, we analyze biological properties of the menstrual blood stem cells and evaluate those cells as a potential substrate of cell therapy.
