Abstract

Over the past two decades, clinical use of stem cells (SCs) for treatment of various medical conditions has become an interesting issue and attracts many investigators’ attention. To date, the understanding of tissue regeneration processes mediated by SCs has become significantly developed. So far, many studies have been conducted to achieve a better concept of SCs physiology and their several interesting characteristics as well as their immune function ant their interaction with the immune system. Beside the growing studies for developing basic sciences about SCs, there is a marked increase in the clinical use of SCs. In this chapter, the SCs characteristics and their clinical use are briefly discussed. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
