Résumé
Stem cells have been initially associated with developmental processes. However, the hope of using stem cells and derivatives as therapeutic products has transitioned from concept to reality. Thus, fields of stem cell research grew out of a traditional basic research to explore theutility of stem cell in disease diagnosis, prevention, regenerative medicine and even tissue preservation. Here we feature a set of reviewmanuscripts that illustrate the multipotential of stem/progenitor cells using musculoskeletal tissue and cancer as examples.
