Liver disease is a serious problem affecting millions of people with continually increasing prevalence. Stem cell therapy has become a promising treatment for liver dysfunction. We previously reported on human minor salivary gland mesenchymal stem cells (hMSGMSCs), which are highly self-renewable with multi-potent differentiation capability.

- Adult stem cells are crucial for keeping tissues healthy, but the presence of these cells in human minor salivary glands is not well-studied.* -
- Researchers successfully isolated human minor salivary gland mesenchymal stem cells (hMSGMSCs) that can self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, showing both embryonic and mesenchymal stem cell characteristics.* -
- When hMSGMSCs were transplanted into mice, they survived and showed signs of integrating into the liver, indicating potential for use in cell therapy and regenerative medicine.*
