Introduction

Traditionally, treatment of human diseases is carried out by small or large molecules that modulate specific cell types. In the majority of the cases, such as cancer, the aim of the treatment is to kill cancer cells, leading to the physiological benefit of the organism. In other circumstances, the disease cells are manipulated to perform a specific function that they normally do not. A variety of therapeutic molecules have been utilized to carry out for treatment leading to therapeutic benefit. These include small molecules, peptides, proteins, antibodies, anti-sense RNAs, and ribozymes. In the case of cell therapy, as the name indicates, treatment is carried out with cells instead of small molecules, as mentioned above. In cell therapy, cells are given to the patient as the therapeutic delivery system for a specific disease to achieve therapeutic benefit.
