“…Cell-based therapy has emerged as a central strategy in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Over the past few decades, various cell types, including primary cells (Kulig and Vacanti, 2004 ; Pepper et al, 2015 ), stem cells (Street et al, 2003 ; Astradsson, 2015 ; Tomatsu et al, 2015 ; Barczyk et al, 2015 ), and genetically modified cells (Kim et al, 2001 ), have been chosen as potential candidates to treat a myriad of complex diseases (e.g. diabetes (Efrat, 2008 ; Pouch, 2015 ), anemia (Orive et al, 2005 ), hemophilia (Hortelano and Chang, 2000 ) and even cancers (Cirone et al, 2002 ; Hao et al, 2005 )).…”
