Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show promise for use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are considered to be the standard, but MSCs can be isolated from many sources. Liver mesenchymal stem cells (LMSCs) are a promising alternative to BMSCs. One challenge in MSC research is immunophenotypic characterization of the cells, since there is no specific marker for MSCs to date; in addition, markers may differ among sources and among species. In this review, we will discuss the markers that have been tested on LMSCs from different species.
