Table 1
Stem cell transplantation in the cell-based therapy of osteoporosis.
| Origin of stem cells | Route of administration |
| Bone marrow, BM-MSCs, and VSELs Umbilical cord blood, UCB-MSCs Adipose tissue, ADSCs Peripheral blood, VSELs Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) | Intravenous injection Intrabone marrow injection Injection to bone surface Intratail venous injection Intracardiac ventricular injection |
|
|
MSCs: mesenchymal stem cells; ADSCs: adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells; VSELs: very small embryonic-like stem cells.
