Abstract excerpt
Human mesenchymal stem cells are currently being studied extensively because of their capability for self-renewal and differentiation to various connective tissues, which makes them attractive as cell sources for regenerative medicine. Herein we report the isolation of human placenta-derived mesenchymal cells (hPDMCs) that have the potential to differentiate into various lineages to explore the possibility of...
