Objective  To review the application of urine derived stem cells (USCs) in regeneration of musculoskeletal system. Methods  The original literature about USCs in the regeneration of musculoskeletal system was extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results  The source of USCs is noninvasive and extensive. USCs express MSCs surface markers with stable proliferative and multi-directional differentiation capabilities, and are widely used in bone, skin, nerve, and other skeletal and muscle system regeneration fields and show a certain repair capacity. Conclusion  USCs from non-invasive sources have a wide application prospect in the regeneration of musculoskeletal system, but the definite biological mechanism of its repair needs further study.
