Abstract

Stem cells have great potential to be applied as a treatment for various types of disorders. These cells exert therapeutic effects by modulating the immune system with the capability to secrete cytokines and chemokines. Previous studies have indicated that stem cells could be used as a therapeutic agent for different complaints, such as gastrointestinal diseases. For a long time now, researchers have moved toward stem cells' clinical application in this context.
