Many studies have drawn attention to the emerging role of MSC (mesenchymal stem cells)
as a promising population supporting new clinical concepts in cellular therapy. However, the …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multi-potent cells that have the capability of
differentiating into adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic and neural cells. With these …

The paper presents current evidence on the properties of human umbilical cord‐derived
mesenchymal stem cells, including origin, proliferative potential, plasticity, stability of …

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), have been defined and characterized by: 1) their ability to
adhere to plastic culture flasks; 2) the positive expression of CD105, CD73, CD90 …

Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) have a high potential for cell-based therapies as
well as for tissue engineering applications. Since Friedenstein first isolated stem or …

Cells in the umbilical cord stroma have gained attention in recent years; however,
differentiation to certain lineages in humans has been demonstrated in few studies. Unlike …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells which can be obtained from several
adult and fetal tissues including human umbilical cord units. We have recently shown that …

Umbilical cords as a source of stem cells are of increasing interest for cell therapies as they
present little ethical consideration and are reported to contain immune privileged cells which …

The human umbilical cord (UC) and placenta are non-invasive, primitive and abundant
sources of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that have increasingly gained attention …

Fibroblast-like cells with properties similar to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are present
in human umbilical cord (hUC). In accordance with the international minimal criteria for …
