n the last years, much work has shown that the most effective repair system of the body is represented bystem cells, which are defined as undifferentiated precursors that own unlimited or prolonged self-renewal ability,which also have the potential to transform themselves into various cell types through differentiation.All tissues thatform the body contain many different types of somatic cells, along with stem cells that are called mesenchymal stem(or stromal) cells (MSC). In certain circumstances, some of these MSC migrate to injured tissues to replace dead cellsor to undergo differentiation to repair it.The discovery of MSC has been an important step in regenerative medicinebecause of their high versatility.
