Minimal criteria for defining multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells. The International Society for Cellular Therapy position statement

TL;DR: The Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the International Society for Cellular Therapy proposes minimal criteria to define human MSC, believing this minimal set of standard criteria will foster a more uniform characterization of MSC and facilitate the exchange of data among investigators.

POSITION PAPER Clarification of the nomenclature for MSC: The International Society for Cellular Therapy position statement

TL;DR: It is suggested that the fibroblast-like plastic-adherent cells, regardless of the tissue from which they are isolated, be termed multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, while the term mesenchyal stem cells is used only for cells that meet specified stem cell criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Bone Marrow–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Gliomas

TL;DR: It is concluded that hMSCs can integrate into human gliomas after intravascular or local delivery, that this engraftment may be mediated by growth factors, and that this tropism of hMSC for human gl iomas can be exploited to therapeutic advantage.
