Rerouting mesenchymal stem cell trajectory towards epithelial lineage by engineering cellular niche

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that offer a promising outcome in the field of regenerative medicine. MSCs are present in various tissues including bone marrow, fat, skin, and placenta. The interest in clinical application of these mesoderm-derived MSCs is primarily fueled by their high self-renewal capacity and multipotency. Although, early studies indicated limited differentiation capacity of MSCs into same cell...
