Abstract

During the past decade, regenerative medicine has emerged as a key technology in the
next generation of medical care, and cell therapy and organ repair using stem cells have
become very attractive options for regenerative medicine. The application of stem cells in
regenerative medicine has required modified methods for isolation. Furthermore, the process
of cell separation plays an important role in cell therapy and regenerative medicine
using stem cells. So, in this review, we compare different methods for the separation of
cells from bone marrow for transplantation to humans, with emphasis on the advantages
and disadvantages of each method.
