Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells mainly found in bone marrow, where they interact closely with hematopietic stem cells, enabling their growth and differentiation. They have the capacity to differentiate into various cell types, osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes.
Playing a key role in tissue regeneration, MSCs participate in the repair of damaged tissue in response to inflammatory or cellular stress signals. They also exert an important immunomodulatory function, secreting cytokines, growth factors and other bioactive molecules capale of influencing the cellular environment and regulating immune responses.
In addition to their diffentiation potential, MSCs interact with other cell types like immune, endothelial and fibroblasts cells, contributing to homeostasis and wound healing. Thanks to their unique properties, they are attracting growing interest in regenerative medicine.
