Research progress in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell in ophthalmology / 中华实验眼科杂志

ABSTRACT

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) is one kind of the adult stem cells.BMSCs have a strong capacity of self-renewal,the ability to differentiation into different cell types and low immunogenicity.The cells have been successfully differentiated into osteoblast,cartilage cells,adipose cells,cardiac muscle cells and vascular endothelial cells and have a bright future in the field of tissue engineering and cell transplantation.Resent years,BMSCs become the hot spot in ophthalmology due to their advantages.This paper summarizes the effects of BMSCs in the research of ophthalmology.
