The article discusses the need to understand the interactions between the immune system and stem cells to come up with successful stem cell-based regenerative therapies. The goal of regenerative medicine to harness stem cells' regenerative potential to treat and the integral part of homeostasis in diverse tissues are explored. The important component of immune cells of stem cell niches across the body, with crucial roles in injury-induced regeneration, is also outlined.
