Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genodermatosis that lacks effective treatments and requires supportive care for its severe, life-threatening manifestations. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and its derived cells have been suggested to improve clinical symptoms and quality of life. A comprehensive search was conducted for publications evaluating BMT and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) therapy for EB in PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases from inception until June 2023. A total of 55 participants with severe forms of EB had BMT and/or BM-MSCs, with recessive dystrophic EB as the most common EB type; 53 (96.4%) patients had better wound healing, and 3 (5.5%) patients died of sepsis. The most common adverse events reported were graft failure, sepsis, graft-versus-host disease, and renal insufficiency. Allogeneic BMT is a high-risk procedure with possible benefits and adverse events. BM-MSCs revealed favorable outcomes to improve the safety of EB cell-based therapy by minimizing the risk of serious adverse events, reducing blisters, and accelerating wound healing. Further studies are needed to assess the treatment's long-term effects and clarify the risk/benefit ratio of procedure versus conventional therapy.
