A debate is ongoing about the ‘stem cell’ status of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This can easily be resolved based on the definition of a stem cell. ‘True’ stem cells are expected to undergo asymmetric cell divisions (ACD) whereby they divide to self-renew and give rise to a slightly bigger, diffe...
