Effects of homeopathic remedies on stem cells

Presence of colonies morphologically resembling fibroblasts Friedenstein et al. reported in the 1970s and defined them as fibroblast colony forming units (CFU-F) (1). In studies conducted in the following years, these cells were found to be non hematopoietic multipotent stem cells, and today they are called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) due to
their ability to differentiate into cells of mesodermal origin (2). MSCs are one of the elements that support bone homeostasis and hematopoiesis in the bone marrow microenvironment, and when suitable conditions are provided in vitro, they are the
multipotent cells of mesodermal origin that have the ability to differentiate into bone, muscle, cartilage and fat cells (mesodermal cells) as non-mesenchymal neurons and astrocytes (ectodermal cells) and hepatocytes (endodermal cells) (3).
