Abstract

Recent advances in the field of cell therapy and regenerative medicine describe mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as potential biological products due to their ability to self-renew and differentiate. MSCs are multipotent adult cells with immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, and, given their therapeutic potential, they are being widely studied in order to evaluate their viability, safety and efficacy. In this review, we describe the main characteristics and cellular sources of MSCs, in addition to providing an overview of their properties and current clinical applications, as well offering updated information on the regulatory aspects that define them as somatic cell therapy products. Cell therapy based on MSCs is offered nowadays as a pharmacological alternative, although there are still challenges to be addressed in this regard.

Resumen

Los recientes avances en el área del tratamiento celular y la medicina regenerativa describen las células madre mesenquimales (MSC) como potenciales activos biológicos debido a su capacidad de autorrenovación y diferenciación. Las MSC son células multipotentes, con propiedades inmunomoduladoras y regenerativas, y debido a su potencial terapéutico están siendo ampliamente estudiadas con el objetivo de evaluar su viabilidad, seguridad y eficacia. En esta revisión, se describen las principales características y fuentes de obtención de las MSC, se da una visión global sobre sus propiedades y aplicaciones clínicas actuales, así como una actualización de los aspectos regulatorios que las definen como medicamentos de tratamiento celular somático. El tratamiento celular basado en MSC se presenta a día de hoy como una gran alternativa farmacológica aunque todavía quedan retos por abordar.
