Part I: Cell-Based Therapy Approach: Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy
1 Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells: The Art to Use Them in the Treatment of Previously Untreatable
Introduction
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Current Status: The ``Problems ́́That in Reality Do Not Exist
Practical Approaches: The Golden Standards, i.e., ``Good Biological Praxis ́́(GBP) Using the Historical Laboratory Experience
Data Extrapolation from Small Animal Studies to Humans Is Unfounded and Without Relevance

Current Research Paradigm: MSCs in Advanced Phases of Clinical Trials Although Understandable Is Far from Personalized Medicine
A Case of Autologous Versus Allogeneic MSCs, an Unanswered Question
A Case for Autologous Cells
Autologous Cells from Patients Are Also ``sick ́́
Autologous Cells in Elderly Patients Are Also Aged
A Case for Allogeneic Cells
Logistic Advantage of Allogenic MSCs
Allogenic MSCs Overcome the Limitations of Aging and Sickness of Autologous Cells
Quality Control of MSCs Preparation: A Prerequisite for Optimal Prognosis
