Mesenchymal stem cells as a platform for research on traditional medicine

The translation of Traditional Medicines (TMs) such as Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine into clinical practice remains obstructed due to lack of scientific evidence by means of safety, quality, standardization, clinical efficacy, and mode of action. These limitations can be attributed to t...
