Recent research indicates that vitamins play a key role in regulating cellular processes, especially in
stem cells. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the potential to develop into various cell types
and regenerate themselves. The article selection process followed predetermined inclusion criteria and
spanned from March 18, 2024, to March 31, 2024, lasting one month. Articles were searched using
specific keywords, and those meeting the criteria were selected. Six articles were collected for review,
primarily focusing on assessing the role of each vitamin in stem cell survival. Most vitamins studied
have shown similar functions in enhancing the viability of stem cells by promoting their
differentiation. However, recent research has revealed a unique role for vitamin E in relation to stem
cells. Vitamin E acts as a facilitator for mesenchymal stem cells, inhibiting dendritic cells and
enhancing their immunomodulatory effects. All these vitamins are pivotal in preserving the wellbeing
and functionality of both stem cells and bodily tissues.
