Figure 1 Multifunctional therapeutic activities of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs). Transplanted hUCB-MSCs participate in cartilage, lung and liver regeneration through differentiation of damaged tissues as well as attenuation of inflammation and apoptosis. Interestingly, hUCB-MSCs can migrate toward glioma. When migrated hUCB-MSCs express apoptotic gene such as TRAIL in glioma region, tumor size will be decreased by secreted TRAIL from hUCB-MSCs.
