Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The recent identification of menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) as a unique population of stem cells has created enormous promise for tissue engineering. In this study, after characterization of MenSCs in comparison with bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), the potential of MenSCs seeded into electrospun, biodegradable, nanofibrous scaffolds in order to engineer cartilage was evaluated....
