Stem Cells: An Alternative Therapy for COVID-19 and Cytokine Storm provides mechanistic insights into the role of stem cells to combat COVID-19 outbreak and other pathologies where cytokines storm is the cause of concern for e.g., radiation exposure, multiple organ failure and sepsis. There has been an increase in number of cases of new diseases in the last decade, including mucormycosis, Zika virus, H1N1 influenza virus, among others. These diseases can be characterized by the induction of cytokine storm, which is mainly responsible for morbidity and mortality.
Stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for viral diseases, including, but not limited to, COVID-19. Interestingly, clinical trials in patients with COVID-19 complications depicted faster recovery in patients post mesenchymal stem cells therapy owing to the decreased cytokines levels, anti-viral effects and regeneration of the infected tissue.

Dr. Yogesh Kumar Verma, MNABS, is working as Scientist ‘E’ in
INMAS, DRDO, Delhi, India. He completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in
Biomedical Science from Delhi University, India. He also has
another M.Sc. degree in Bioinformatics from Punjab Technical
University, India. In year 2009, he joined INMAS, DRDO, Delhi,
India, as Scientist ‘C’. He is presently working in the area of
stem cell research, microencapsulation, regenerative medicine,
tissue engineering and omics data mining and analysis for
repairing/ regenerating various types of tissues for Defence
application. He has been awarded with many fellowships, project
grants, and has published many articles including manuscripts,
patents, book chapters etc. Dr. Neeraj Kumar Satija PhD is working
as a Senior Scientist at CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology
Research, Lucknow, India. He completed his B.Tech and M.Tech in
Biotechnology from School of Biotechnology, Guru Gobind Singh
Indraprastha University, Delhi, India. Thereafter, he undertook
doctoral studies at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied
Sciences, Delhi, India, elucidating role of Wnt signaling and its
downstream target genes in mediating osteoblast differentiation of
human mesenchymal stem cells, and identified lithium as a priming
agent for enhancing osteogenic differentiation potential of
mesenchymal stem cells. In 2014, he joined CSIR-Indian Institute of
Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India, as a Scientist. His group is
working in varied disciples such as stem cell toxicology, embryonic
stem cell differentiation, leukemia chemoresistance and wound
healing. He has mentored a number of graduate/post-graduate
students and is guiding Ph.D. scholars. Dr. Pawan Kumar Raghav is
currently a researcher the School of Medicine, Department of
Surgery, University of California, San Francisco. He is developing
novel approaches for investigating immune/inflammatory mechanisms
of allograft injury and discovering new biomarkers and therapeutics
in solid organ and bone marrow transplantation. He is the recipient
of several awards and honors, including the ICMR Travel Award to
deliver an oral talk in 11th world congress & expo on cell & stem
cell research in Orlando, FL; Research Excellence Award from the
Institute of Scholars, best Research Award from Science Father, and
was invitated to present the research proposal at BioMed X GmbH,
Germany. He has published more than 40 publications, including
international research articles, book chapters, books, and
intellectual property rights for patents. He is also reviewer and
editor of special collections for several international journals
and books. Nishant Tyagi MSc is an Indian-born Senior Research
