Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs ) have high proliferative and differentiation potential in addition to their plasticity that makes them promising candidates for cell therapeutic applications . Bone marrow (BM ) harvest is still the main source of MSCs in spite of being traumatic and painful . Clinical indications for peripheral blood (PB ) - derived MSCs, which can be easily and safely harvested are rapidly increasing
