Table 2 Characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells supporting their use for age-related disorders
Feature
Benefit for age-related disorders
Multilineage differentiationRegenerates multiple tissue types damaged by aging
Low immunogenicityReduces risk of immune rejection
ImmunomodulationControls chronic inflammation common in aging
Ease of isolation and expansionFacilitates clinical application
Exosome secretionDelivers anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and regenerative factors
Combats oxidative stressProtects cells from age-related damage
Rejuvenation potentialRestores function of aged stem cells
