ABSTRACT
COVID-19 emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, spread worldwide rapidly, and caused millions of deaths in a short time. Many preclinical and clinical studies were performed to discover the most efficient therapy to reduce the mortality of COVID-19 patients. Among various approaches for preventing and treating COVID-19, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy can be regarded as a novel and efficient treatment for managing COVID-19 patients. In this review, we explain the pathogenesis of COVID-19 infection in humans and discuss the role of MSCs in suppressing the inflammation and cytokine storm produced by COVID-19. Then, we reviewed the clinical trial and systematic review studies that investigated the safety and efficacy of MSC therapy in the treatment of COVID-19 infection.
