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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesenchymal stem cells suppress lymphocyte proliferation in vitro and prolong skin graft survival in vivo.

TL;DR: Baboon MSCs have been observed to alter lymphocyte reactivity to allogeneic target cells and tissues, which may prove useful in future applications of tissue regeneration and stem cell engineering.

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

Mesenchymal stem cells: Biology and potential clinical uses

TL;DR: Preclinical and early clinical safety studies are paving the way for further applications of mesenchymal stem cells in the field of transplantation with respect to hematopoietic support, immunoregulation, and graft facilitation.
