Context: Using stem cells in the medical field as a regenerative therapy to repair damaged tissue is popular nowadays. Honey contains antioxidant activity, minerals, sugars, and other ingredients supporting wound healing and mature tissue regeneration. However, using honey to induce stem cell proliferation still lacks studies. In this review, we would like to do a systematic review to confirm the effectiveness of honey bees towards stem cell proliferation in both in vitro and in vivo treatment. Objectives: This study used all previous studies that included honey bees and stem cells in both in vitro and in vivo treatments. The search was performed on July 30th – 31st, 2021, and obtained 21 articles, of which 16 were excluded and the rest were screened. One screened literature was out of the limit; thus, five articles matched the terms. Relevant studies were retrieved from PubMed and the Cochrane Library. Data Methods: According to in vitro studies, honey of Trigona spp. increases the proliferation rate of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Honey is effective for wound healing and stem cell regeneration. Meanwhile, in vivo studies showed honey increases the regeneration of malnutrition ovary failure. Results: According to in vitro studies, honey of Trigona spp. increases the proliferation rate of DPSCs. Honey is effective for wound healing and stem cell regeneration. Meanwhile, in vivo studies showed honey increases the regeneration of malnutrition ovary failure Conclusions: In conclusion, honey positively affects stem cell proliferation and can be used to supplement stem cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
