Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a population of adult stem cells,are defined by their capacity of self- replicating and differentiation into bones,cartilages,adipose tissues and some other types of cells,which depends on certain stimuli and culture conditions.It has been proved that MSCs have become important candidate cells in cell therapy,especially for tissue repair and immune regulation in degenerative diseases and autoimmunity diseases.As getting high quality MSCs is the base of its clinic application,it is especially important to establish an effective method on cryopreservation.This review is just focus on the developments in cryopreservation of MSCs.
