Abstract

Stem cells have been a hot spot in medical research for a long time and have unique advantages in tissue repair, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. With the development of regenerative medicine, stem cells have been widely studied and applied in reproductive medicine, such as improving ovarian function and repairing endometrial damage. These efforts are achieved primarily through the use of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) from a variety of sources. However, the application of stem cells also faces problems such as low cell retention rate and medical ethics. This article focuses on the research progress and clinical application of MSCs (not involving embryonic stem cells) in the field of female reproductive medicine.

干细胞作为医学研究的热点已久,其在组织修复、疾病的诊断和治疗方面有着独特的优势。随着再生医学的发展,干细胞在生殖医学领域的研究和应用也越来越广泛,如改善卵巢功能、子宫内膜损伤后修复等。这些研究主要是通过利用各种来源的间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells,MSCs)来实现的。但是,干细胞的应用同时也面临着细胞保留率低、医学伦理等问题,本文着重阐述间充质干细胞(不涉及胚胎干细胞)在女性生殖医学领域的研究进展及临床应用。.
