RESUMEN
Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UC-MSC)are a kind of stem cell group with high self-renewal ability and multi-directional differentiation potential. In recent years,studies have shown that UC-MSC is far more advan- tageous than the stem cells from other sources in terms of acquisition,storage and transplantation. UC-MSC also possesses the characteristics of secreting specific cytokines,playing an immunomodulatory role,or delivering”drugs”to the special tumor sites. Therefore,UC-MSC has become a promising tumor-targeting tool. This article reviews recent advances in the research on the antitumor mechanism and safety of UC-MSC.
