Mesenchymal refers to a type of tissue in the body that is primarily involved in the development and support of various structures. It is composed of loosely organized cells that can differentiate into different types of cells, such as bone, cartilage, and muscle. Mesenchymal tissues play a crucial role in the formation of the skeletal system and connective tissues. In the context of stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a specific type of stem cell found in various tissues, including bone marrow and adipose tissue. These cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types, making them important for tissue repair and regeneration.
