Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells are core to bone homeostasis and repair. They both provide the progenitor cells from which bone cells are formed and regulate the local cytokine environment to create a pro-osteogenic environment. Dysregulation of these cells is often seen in orthopaedic pathology and can be manipulated by the physician treating the patient. This narrative review aims to describe the common applications of cell therapies to bone healing whilst also suggesting the future direction of these techniques.
