Regenerative medicine makes use of cells, biomaterials, and molecules, known as the TE triangle, to regenerate damaged structures in the body due to disease or injury. The cells are an important component of this triad. There are several sources of stem cells with varying potencies. Adult stem cells may differentiate into tissues derived from a single germ layer such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which may form adipose tissue, bone, and cartilage. Recent studies suggest that the driving force behind the therapeutic potential observed in MSCs is the paracrine factors secreted by the cells. These factors stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation following the same mechanism that occurs during tissue development or healing. The understanding of the molecular events that are controlled and regulated by the paracrine factors during in vitro propagation of the stem cells would render alternative approaches in applying these cells for therapeutic purposes more effectively.
