How mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) work

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a powerful tool in regenerative medicine due to their unique properties.

Here are the main mechanisms of their therapeutic action:

Differentiation

MSCs can transform into various types of cells, including bone, cartilage, fat, and muscle cells. This allows them to replace damaged or lost cells, promoting tissue repair. For instance, in the case of bone injury, MSCs can differentiate into osteoblasts, which aid in the new bone tissue formation.

Release of biologically active substances

MSCs release various molecules, such as growth factors, cytokines, and exosomes, which play a crucial role in tissue regeneration. These molecules can stimulate the body's own cells to repair, reduce inflammation, and improve the microenvironment, promoting wound healing and enhancing overall cellular health.

Immunomodulation

MSCs can modulate the immune response, reducing inflammation and suppressing excessive immune reactions, which is particularly useful in conditions of chronic inflammation or after transplantation, where it is important to prevent rejection of transplanted organs or tissues.

Angiogenesis

MSCs promote the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood supply and nourishment to damaged tissues. This process, known as angiogenesis, is critical for wound healing and organ recovery after injury.

Tissue regeneration

Due to their ability to differentiate and release bioactive molecules, MSCs can effectively contribute to the repair of various types of tissues. They can replace damaged cells and stimulate the body's own regenerative mechanisms, helping restore the functionality of damaged organs and systems.
