Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by swelling in synovial joints and erosion of bones. The disease is normally treated with conventional drugs which provide only temporary relief to the symptoms. Over the past few years, mesenchymal stromal cells have become the center of attention for treating this disease due to their immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammatory characteristics. Various studies on treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by using these cells have shown positive outcomes in terms of reduction in the level of pain as well as improvement of the function and structure of joints. Mesenchymal stromal cells can be derived from multiple sources, however, the ones derived from bone marrow are considered most beneficial for treating several disorders including rheumatoid arthritis on account of being safer and more effective. This review summarizes all the preclinical and clinical studies which were conducted over the last ten years for therapy of rheumatoid arthritis utilizing these cells. The literature was reviewed using the terms "mesenchymal stem/stromal cells and rheumatoid arthritis'' and "bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells and therapy of rheumatoid arthritis''. Data was extracted to enable the readers to have access to the most relevant information regarding advancement in therapeutic potential of these stromal cells. Additionally, this review will also help in fulfilling any gap in current knowledge of readers about the outcome of using these cells in animal models, cell line and in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders as well.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis as a common autoimmune inflammatory disorder with unknown etiology can affect 0.5-1% of adults in developed countries. It involves more than just the patient's joints and can be accompanied by several comorbidities and affect cardiovascular, pulmonary, and some other systems of the human body. Although cytokine-mediated pathways are mentioned to have a central role in RA pathogenesis, adaptive and innate immune systems and intracellular signaling pathways all have important roles in this process. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoids, conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, and biological agents are some mentioned medications used for RA. They are accompanied by some adverse effects and treatment failures which elucidates the needing for novel and more powerful therapeutic approaches. Stem cell-based therapies and their beneficial effects on therapeutic processes of different diseases have been founded so far. They can be an alternative and promising therapeutic approach for RA, too; due to their effects on immune responses of the disease. This review, besides some explanations about RA characteristics, addresses the outcome of the stem cell-based therapies including mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for RA and explains their effects on the disease improvement.
