Abstract  The article 鈥淧lasticity of human menstrual blood stem cells derived from the endometrium鈥?by Lin et al. (2011), published in Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE B (Biomedicine & Biotechnology), described a newly identified mesenchymal-like stem cell (MSC) from human menstrual blood known as MenSC. Here we describe the latest findings in this area and clarify the difference between human adult stem cells from menstrual blood and endometrial tissue.

Key words： Mesenchymal-like stem cell (MSC)      MenSC      eMSC
