Core Tip	Upon closer inspection on respiratory diseases, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and Middle East respiratory syndrome have similarities in pathogenesis, especially cytokine and immune response profiles. These comparable features in terms of the cytokine storm will provide hints for the treatment of COVID-19. Transplantation of mesenchymal stromal cells provides tissue regeneration and rejuvenation with immunotolerant and immunomodulant properties on damaged tissues by exerting their effects through immune cells.
