Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the outbreak of the deadly virus had been noted almost in all the countries worldwide. Newly no standard therapies are available to combat the situation and this remains the major challenge for healthcare professionals to provide effective treatment against the life-threatening condition. A potential regenerative medicine method using the infusion of stem cells for the treatment of lung disorders has been reported. This review attempted to explore the immunomodulatory characteristics of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and how these properties make them beneficial for the treatment of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients. Objectives: To study the effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell therapy in treating COVID-19. Methodology: A literature search was conducted to identify recent research relating to the review's goal of analyzing the relevance of stem cells in battling SARS-CoV-2. Results: The MSCs settle in the lungs intravenously to enhance the pulmonary microenvironment, minimize immune system over-activation, and encourage regeneration of damaged lung tissues. Its therapeutic properties like immune response inhibition play a major role in combating viruses. The avoidance of cytokine storm is the most important stage in COVID-19 therapy. Their potent immunomodulatory properties have positive effects in avoiding or attenuating the cytokine storm and assisting in the regeneration of injured lung tissues/other organs. Conclusion: Intravenous human Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cell therapy (hUC-MSC) transplantation is a safe and effective technique that may be used as a restoration and prioritized therapeutic option for treating severe COVID-19. Keywords: Covid-19, human Umbilical Cord-Mesenchymal Stem Cell therapy (huc-msc), Immune system.
