Stem cells and cell therapy.

摘要

In recent years several articles have been published in Russia about Rudolf Virchow and his teachings on cellular pathology [1-4]. Apparently, the purpose was promulgation of the idea of cellular pathology in connection with cell therapies and stem cells (SC) that have become popular in the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately, not all methods applied here in practice are founded in evidence-based international research. The field is cluttered with numerous publications of questionable reliability, some of them probably aimed at official registration of certain methods and products for practical use.
