Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered to be a source of stem cells in tissue regeneration and therapeutics, due to their ability to undergo proliferation and differentiation. Complications associated with bone marrow-derived MSCs has prompted researchers to explore alternative sources of MSCs. The human umbilical cord is one such source; it is easily available and its collection is non-invasive. The...
