Talk Title: What is a mesenchymal stem cell, and why does it matter?
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been the most commonly used cells for tissue repair and engineering, and the focus of over 500 clinical trials. Paradoxically, MSCs have also been the least characterized regenerative cells in terms of native identity, innate tissue distribution and natural function, owing to their exclusive derivation in long-term culture. We have recently prospectively identified and clinically validated innate MSCs as ubiquitous perivascular cells. We will present the phenotype and multiple potentials deployed by native MSCs to mediate tissue regeneration, and discuss the rationale for using purified perivascular cells in place of conventional culture derived MSCs for cell therapies.
