Abstract excerpt
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 of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and differentiation potential with increasing age. Umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UCMSCs) are likely to be a promising alternative...
