Abstract

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are the type of cells with selfrenewal and multi-lineage differentiation potentical and are placed especially in bone marrow. The ability of MSCs to differentiate into mesoderm, ectodermal, and endodermal cells in vitro, make them as a choice for tissue engineering and several disease treatment including urology disorders. On the occasion of renal tubular injury, MSCs not only prevent fibrosis of renal tissue and prohibit apoptosis of renal cells, but have a virtual role in regeneration of renal tubular cells indirectly. Several role for MSCs in the erectile dysfunction, bladder dysfunction, kidney injuries and regenerative medicine in urology are considered. In this book we represent the exact place of stem cells in urology disorders. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
