Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been a promising area of study for regenerative medicine. These cells can be harvested from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and other areas allowing for autologous transplantation of these cells into the area of degeneration or injury. With the proper signals, these cells may be able to regenerate healthy tissue. Recent studies have yielded promising evidence supporting translational mesenchymal stromal cell applications particularly in spinal fusion surgery.Entities:
