These approaches are based upon the foundation that neither extensive engraftment nor differentiation of the transplanted cells are prerequisites for a useful therapeutic response. A number of models of tissue repair have been assessed, including myocardial repair, joint repair in arthritis, neuronal repair and, importantly, an assessment of the stem cell-tumor interaction. Several elements of the stem cell host interaction are likely to be critical in evoking a stem cell-mediated repair response that is useful and clinically meaningful. These are likely to include trophic effects, suppression of the host immune response and mobilization of host cells, among others.
