Adult Stem Cells: Mesenchymal Stromal Cells, Endothelial Progenitor Cells, and Pericytes
2020
In this chapter, you will learn the origin, characteristics, and function of adult stem cells, and the difference between adult stem cells and their embryonic counterparts. Adult stem cells play an important role in maintaining homeostasis, tissue repair, healing, and regeneration. They have become a favorite source for extensive experimentations and clinical trials because of their unique biological and functional criteria, and practical isolation and culture methods. The chapter focuses on mesenchymal stromal cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and pericytes in terms of their biology and functional properties.
