Abstract: Bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSSCs) are one of the most favorable cells in adult stem cells. Not only they played an important role in the production and development of hemapoietic system and immune system, but also they had effects on the process of tissue regeneration and injury repair. Especially, recent research showed that BMSSCs had the capability of trans-differentiating into adult cells derived from different germ-layers. It might reveal the new mechanism of cells?differentiation based on this research model, and also it provided us a creative way on the tissue engineering with BMSSCs and clinical therapy. At present, BMSSCs have been confirmed to be able to differentiate into hepatocytes, neurocyte, cardiocyte, vascular endothelial cell and islet cell, besides differentiating into osteoblast, chondrocyte and adipocyte. In this review, we will mainly focus on the research progress on the plasticity mechanism of BMSSCs.
