Extensive studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent mesoderm-derived stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes and neuronal cells. 1 MSCs are found in numerous organs and tissues, including bone marrow, heart, lung, muscle, peripheral blood, adipose tissue, cartilage, synovium, dental pulp, tonsil, umbilical cord, placenta, thymus and olfactory mucosa. 1 MSCs have been shown to possess potent immunosuppressive functions and tissue repair capacities, which have facilitated the clinical applications of MSCs in treating a diverse range of disorders involving angiogenesis and fibrosis, including rheumatic diseases and graft-versus-host diseases. 2, 3 Here, we provide a brief commentary on newly emerging evidence of the immunoregulatory function and potential application of ecto-mesenchymal stem cells.
