Based on results from preliminary clinical investigations, one predicts that MSCs therapy for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients is safe and effective although multiple clinical trials with a protracted follow-up will be necessary to determine the long term effects of the treatment on COVID19 patients. Further, MSCs exhibit broad immune regulatory function, which makes them suitable for anti-viral therapy as safety and effectiveness of these cells have been documented in clinical trials of severe lung infections [9, 10, 11] . The first study was a case report [12] , in which a critically ill 65-year-old female with severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, moderate anemia, hypertension, and multiple organ failure received three infusions of umbilical cord MSCs (UCMSCs, 5X10 7 cells/infusion), three days apart. ./cache/cord-264646-d7qexyav.txt ./txt/cord-264646-d7qexyav.txt
