The current concepts on the stem cells from bone marrow and the significance of the stromal cells in Regenerative Medicine are showed. In particular, the phenotypical features of mesenchymal and endothelial stem cells are described, as well as the different related types of cells, its functional and the significance properties given to use of these cells in different therapeutic applications. The results of study in different pathologic states, the variations due to drugs action and of the growth factors are recounted as well as its future potential in diagnosis and treatment of different diseases.
