Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem (MSCs) cells possess a remarkable capacity as a therapeutic option for many diseases. These cells have immunomodulatory, proangiogenic, regenerative and anti-inflammatory capabilities. In spite of possessing such properties, these cells behave differently in the in-vivo environment in the diseased condition, and in many instances lose their therapeutic potential. This case report presents evidence about empowerment of MSCs from a pregnant woman who underwent a set of yogic exercises during her pregnancy. MSCs isolated from this woman were found to be in a better state post-cryopreservation, and also while mediating their immunomodulatory effect.
