An understanding of the role of MSCs in modulating tumor growth provides a glimpse into their role in non-pathological tissue remodeling and potential regenerative tissue therapies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMesenchymal Stromal Cells as Tumor Stromal Modulators\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive source for the understanding of the role of MSCs as ubiquitous connective tissue cell components, which may have both direct and indirect effects on the tumor microenvironment and potential for regenerative therapeutics for various diseases.
