Role of adipose mesenchymal stem cells and secretome in peripheral nerve regeneration

The use of stem cells is a breakthrough in medical biotechnology which brings regenerative therapy into a new era. Over the past several decades, stem cells had been widely used as regenerative therapy and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) had emerged as a promising therapeutic option. Currently stem cells are effective therapeutic agents againts several diseases due to their tissue protective and repair mechanisms. This therapeutic effect is largely due to the biomolecular properties including secretomes. Injury to peripheral nerves has significant health and economic consequences, and no surgical procedure can completely restore sensory and motor function. Stem cell therapy in peripheral nerve injury is an important future intervention to achieve the best clinical outcome improvement. Adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) are multipotent mesenchymal stem cells which are similar to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). The following review aims to provide an overview of the use of AdMSCs and their secretomes in regenerating peripheral nerves.

Automated summary

The use of stem cells, especially Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), has become a breakthrough in medical biotechnology, bringing regenerative therapy to a new era. Stem cells have shown effectiveness in treating various diseases through their tissue protective and repair mechanisms, particularly in the case of peripheral nerve injury where surgical procedures are unable to fully restore function. Adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) have emerged as a promising option for regenerating peripheral nerves.
