Stem cell homing is a core biological mechanism where stem cells are precisely guided to damaged tissues. This journey is facilitated by distress signals (chemokines, cytokines), specific cellular receptors (CXCR4, integrins), and the dynamic extracellular matrix. Scientists are actively researching methods to enhance this natural process for therapeutic applications, addressing challenges in targeted delivery and cell viability.
