Two mechanisms suggested for recruiting endogenous MSC after tissue injury. a Special mediators (e.g., cytokines and growth factors) secreted by the injured tissue can stimulate recruitment of MSC from BM to injured sites through circulation. b Otherwise, MSC can be recruited from within tissues to the injured sites by migration within the stroma or through micro-capillaries. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC); bone marrow (BM); stem cell factor (SCF); stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1); granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
