The multipotent stem cells of our body have been largely harnessed in biotherapeutics. However, as they are derived from multiple anatomical sources, from different tissues, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a heterogeneous population showing ambiguity in their in vitro behavior. Intra-clonal population heterogeneity has also been identified and pre-clinical mechanistic studies suggest that these cumulatively depreciate the therapeutic effects of hMSC transplantation.
