Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) remain a focal point of regenerative medicine due to their multipotency, immunomodulatory properties, and ease of isolation from various tissues including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. Recent advancements in MSC-based therapies have highlighted their therapeutic potential in treating inflammatory, autoimmune, and degenerative diseases. Ongoing clinical trials are exploring their efficacy in conditions such as osteoarthritis, graft-versus-host disease, and even COVID-19-related lung injury.

Additionally, recent studies emphasize the paracrine effect of MSCs, where secreted exosomes and cytokines mediate tissue repair and immune regulation. Efforts are also being made to enhance MSC efficacy through genetic modification and preconditioning strategies. Despite promising results, challenges remain, particularly regarding cell heterogeneity, standardization of culture conditions, and long-term safety. As the field evolves, the Journal of Stem Cells Research, Development and Therapy continues to provide a platform for high-impact research that advances the understanding and clinical translation of MSCs.
