Therapeutic use of stem cells in Mexico: Status and perspectives

The use of stem cells (SCs) is one of the most promising strategies for multiple human affections due to its properties such as proliferation, migration through the tissue, immune system modulation, and differentiation potential. SC can differentiate into the cellular lineages of the organism, wh...
