Table 2. Advantages and disadvantages of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Advantages Disadvantages
Multiple site collection [107] Invasive harvesting procedure [108]
Capacity of self-renewal [109] In vitro cell expansion difficulty [108]
Multilineage differentiation potential [109] Limited replication lifespan [110]
Easy and high yield of isolation cells [108] Require younger donors [111]
Supporting evidence, both in vitro and in vivo [107]
High osteogenic differentiation performance [110]
Potential for the treatment of several diseases [110]
Autologous, allogeneic, and xenologous are possible [110]
Free from ethical issues [110]
The primary source of stem cells [110]
Higher migration capacity [112]
Lower risk immune rejection [112]
Less susceptible to mutations [113]
