Core Tip
Core Tip: In this review, we provide an overview of the characteristics of stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and adult stem cells, along with a summary of stem cell therapies for asthma and associated challenges. This review aims to guide future research endeavors on developing innovative stem cell therapies for asthma and other disorders.
