[Role of the bone marrow derived stem cells in pancreatic inflammatory disorders].

Various independent studies indicate involvement of different populations of bone marrow-derived stem cells in the process of tissue regeneration. In inflammatory disorders bone marrow stem cells are mobilized into peripherial blood and further to different organs, where they take part in tissue regeneration. Experimental studies have shown that bone marrow stem cells play a pivotal role in regeneration of endo and egzocrine pancreas and have a role in pathogenesis of pancreatitis, diabetes and pancreatic neoplasms. Our review summarize available scientific data about different populations of bone marrow stem cells and their role in pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders with special focus on the role of these cells in pancreatic regeneration and their influence on development of pancreatitis. Presented data show also therapeutic potential of bone marrow stem cells in pancreatitis.
