The history and characteristics of MSCs are discussed, as well as MSC's therapeutic properties. The effect of age is discussed in detail as to how it affects MSC's quality and their ability to proliferate, differentiate and exert therapeutic effects. Evidence of the effects of lifestyle and illness on MSC quality is discussed as well. The presentation will also cover direct comparative studies on differences between umbilical cord derived MSCs vs. bone marrowderived MSCs vs. adipose-derived MSCs, including differences in their growth profile, cellular senescence and anti-inflammatory properties. Comparisons of MSC's from above different tissue sources are also discussed in specific areas such as orthopaedics, cancer, angiogenesis and neuroprotection. Specifically regarding umbilical cord-derived MSC's, their primitivity, differentiation potentials and gene expressions are discussed. Lastly, the advantages and disadvantages of autologous vs. perinatal allogeneic stem cell therapies are discussed.
