issue injuries result in changing the host niche and
niche factors that govern resident stem cell behaviors
as well as disturbs donor stem cell regeneration. In the
last few decades, the stem cell studies have become a
well-established research area and their applications have
moved to the clinic. However, several of the unconvinced
issues, such as the injured tissue derived stem cells, how the
injured environment involves the cellular reprogramming
and differentiation abilities, have not been well investigated.
In the recent literature, several publications have reported
the significant contributions of injury tissues derived stem
cells that explore multipotency and improved differentiation
abilities. Those injury-motivated stem cells have been
isolated from the injured musculoskeletal tissues, including
the traumatic injured skeletal muscles and fractured bones.
In this presentation, we will display our recent study on the
injurymuscle derived stemcells (iMuSCs), which include their
potency stem cell behaviors and applications in tissue repair.
We aim to create a multidisciplinary forum for discussion
on those studies in traumatic injury tissues derived stem
cells. We will also focus on talking the injury-environmental
change altering stem cell behaviors, as well as their potential
biological role. Consequently, understanding the alteration
of donor stem cells after implantation will stimulate their
applications in the wound healings of various tissues.
