Mesenchymal stem cell based therapy for osteo-diseases

Stem cell therapy in recent years has gained much attention as the modern therapeutic approach to treat diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are seen as the most reliable cells applied in therapy over other stem cells because of their versatility. Bone and cartilage diseases (osteo-diseases) are the major target of therapy using MSCs. In this perspective, we have statistically analyzed the data available on clinical trials registry databases regarding the mesenchymal stem cell based therapy for a number of mentioned diseases and paid attention towards the osteodiseases. We report that MSC therapy for osteo-diseases needs optimization in its standards to achieve acceptable results so that we can apply it in daily routine clinical practice.
