Fig. 6 — The tissue sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) contribute greatly to their therapeutic potential, as all MSC types share safety profiles and overlapping efficacy. Although a large body of data and their review and systematic analysis indicated the shared safety and potential efficacy of MSCs derived from different tissue sources, targeted therapies considering MSC origin as an important factor are imperative to enhance the downstream therapeutic effects of MSCs. We suggest that bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) are good candidates for the treatment of brain and spinal cord injury, adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSCs) are suitable for the treatment of reproductive disorders and skin regeneration, and umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) could be alternatives for the treatment of pulmonary diseases and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
