摘要
The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from perinatal tissue sources has gained attention due to their availability and lack of significant ethical or moral concerns. These cells have a higher proliferative capability than adult MSCs and less immunogenic or tumorigenesis risk than fetal and embryonic stem cells. Additionally, they do not require invasive isolation methods like fetal and adult MSCs. We reviewed the main biological and therapeutic aspects of perinatal MSCs in a three-part article. In the first part, we revised the main biological features and characteristics of MSCs and the advantages of perinatal MSCs over other types of SCs. In the second part, we provided a detailed molecular background for the main biomarkers that can be used to identify MSCs. In the final part, we appraised the therapeutic application of perinatal MSCs in four major degenerative disorders: degenerative disc disease, retinal degenerative diseases, ischemic heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. In conclusion, there is no single specific molecular marker to identify MSCs. We recommend using at least two positive markers of stemness (CD29, CD73, CD90, or CD105) and two negative markers (CD34, CD45, or CD14) to exclude the hematopoietic origin. Moreover, utilizing perinatal MSCs for managing degenerative diseases presents a promising therapeutic approach. This review emphasizes the significance of employing more specialized progenitor cells that originated from the perinatal MSCs. The review provides scientific evidence from the literature that applying these progenitor cells in therapeutic procedures provides a greater regenerative capacity than the original primitive MSCs. Finally, this review provides a valuable reference for researchers exploring perinatal MSCs and their therapeutic applications. © The Author(s) 2025.
