摘 要:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) orcoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has exhausted the health systemsin many countries with thousands cases diagnosed daily. The currently usedtreatment guideline is to manage the common symptoms like fever and cough,but doesn’t target the virus itself or halts serious complications arising from thisviral infection. Currently, SARS-CoV-2 exhibits many genetic modulations whichhave been associated with the appearance of highly contagious strains. Thenumber of critical cases of COVID-19 increases markedly, and many of theinfected people die as a result of respiratory failure and multiple organ dysfunction. The regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has beenextensively studied and confirmed. The impressive immunomodulation and antiinflammatoryactivity of MSCs have been recognized as a golden opportunity forthe treatment of COVID-19 and its associated complications. Moreover, MSCsregenerative and repairing abilities have been corroborated by many studies withpositive outcomes and high recovery rates. Based on that, MSCs infusion could bean effective mechanism in managing and stemming the serious complications andmultiple organ failure associated with COVID-19. In the present review, wediscuss the commonly reported complications of COVID-19 viral infection and theestablished and anticipated role of MSCs in managing these complications.
