Isolation and animal serum free expansion of human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and endothelial colony forming progenitor cells (ECFCs).

6 Oct 2009 The umbilical cord is a rich source for progenitor cells with high proliferative potential including mesenchymal stromal cells (also termed mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs) and endothelial colony forming progenitor cells (ECFCs). Both cell types are ... Read more...

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells: osteogenesis in vivo as seed cells for bone tissue engineering.

29 Sep 2009 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are ideal seed cells for bone tissue engineering. However, intrinsic deficiencies exist for the autologous transplantation strategy of constructing artificial bone with MSCs derived from bone marrow of patients. In this ... Read more...

Umbilical cord Wharton's Jelly: a new potential cell source of mesenchymal stromal cells for bone tissue engineering.

30 Aug 2009 Although bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are a main cell source for tissue-engineered bone (TEB), the clinical use of BMSCs is restricted due to the invasive bone marrow aspiration procedure and the decline in available number ... Read more...
