Abstract: (1051 Views)
Background: Menstrual blood has been identified as an important source for the isolation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These stem cells can easily and non-invasively be harvested from menstrual blood during menstrual shedding. There has been extensive research on the differentiation potential of menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) and their application in regenerative medicine and the treatment of diseases.
Materials and Methods: The aim of this paper was to review the current and future application of MenSCs in the field of regenerative medicine and cell therapy based on an electronic search in various databases, like Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar for English-language studies. The application of MenSCs in regenerative medicine can be the window of hope for the treatment of various diseases and disabilities, such as female infertility, type 1 diabetes, myocardial infarction, wound healing, neurodegenerative diseases, and many other conditions that were thought to be incurable in the past.
Conclusion: Nowadays, the use of MenSC as a novel source of MSCs has garnered special interest among scientists due to two important factors: Non-invasive accessibility and the immunomodulatory potential of these cells, which have historically posed significant obstacles in the field of stem cell therapy. To date, there has been substantial research on these cells, and many studies are ongoing, as scientists seek to leverage their differentiation potential and optimize differentiation conditions and protocols for their application in regenerative medicine.
