  • Tissues from post-mortem donors as alternative sources of stem cells for regenerative medicine
    Haring, Gregor ; Zupan, Janja, farmacevtka
    Stem cells provide for all of the tissues in our body during embryogenesis. In adult organisms, they can be found as rare populations of tissue-specific stem cells in quiescent states, although they ... can still regenerate damaged tissues. Astonishingly, these cells are retained in tissues even post-mortem. There have been several reports that have provided evidence that cells with stem-like capabilities can be isolated, expanded, and differentiated in vitro from various tissues several hours, or even several days, post-mortem. Moreover, some post-mortem-tissue-derived stem cells can successfully engraft and regenerate injured host tissues. Here, we review in-vitro and in-vivo studies that provide evidence of isolation and characterization of stem cells from different tissues post-mortem, with a focus on the musculoskeletal and neural systems. Finally, we discuss their potential for use in regenerative medicine, and what needs to be done in further research toward their better exploitation.
