TLDR
The molecular mechanisms underlying MSC homing are reviewed, based on a multistep model involving initial tethering by selectins, activation by cytokines, arrest by integrins, diapedesis or transmigration using matrix remodelers, and extravascular migration toward chemokine gradients.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells as a valuable source for the treatment of immune-mediated disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their potential biomedical applications have received much attention from the global scientific community in an increasing manner, including self-renewability, multipotency, and easy accessibility are just one side of the coin; another side is their huge secretome which is comprised of hundreds of mediators, cytokines and signaling molecules and can effectively modulate the inflammatory responses and control the infiltration process that finally leads to a regulated tissue repair/healing or regeneration process.

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.

Human Adipose Tissue Is a Source of Multipotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: To confirm whether adipose tissue contains stem cells, the PLA population and multiple clonal isolates were analyzed using several molecular and biochemical approaches and PLA cells exhibited unique characteristics distinct from those seen in MSCs, including differences in CD marker profile and gene expression.
