Multi-faceted characterization of mesenchymal stem cells and their application as a powerful tool for agrobiotechnology, assisted reproductive technologies, and veterinary and regenerative biomedicine – a review

Abstract

Abstract A broad spectrum of cytologically specific immunophenotypic, biochemical, physiological and molecular attributes of neonatal and adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exists. Taking into account the biological traits of these types of multipotent stem cells, they play a pivotal role in the wide utilization of MSC-mediated engineering and MSC-based assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) for animal production, veterinary research, regenerative and reconstructive medicine, and cell/tissue transplantology. Consequently, this paper sought to comprehensively provide research highlights, and insightful interpretation of current goals and future targets related to the agricultural, embryological and biomedical application of MSC-assisted biotechnological strategies and MSC-dependent interdisciplinary research techniques.
