Abstract Humanity constantly searches for novel therapeutic approaches concerning diseases that do not respond to standard therapies and patients fail to archive a satisfactory quality of life. The stem cells carry a huge potential in treating those diseases and modern medicine has to find answers concerning indications for stem cell therapy as well as a safe and effective way of delivering those cells into damaged tissues. This review presents selected indications for stem cell therapy and its preliminary results in several fields such as hematology, neurology, ophthalmology, pulmonology, transplantology and tissue regeneration.
