Gene expression modifications in Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells promoted by prolonged in vitro culturing
21 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that the umbilical cord matrix, represented by the Wharton's Jelly (WJ), contains a great number of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), characterized by the expression of specific MSCs markers, shared by both human and animal models. The easy access to massive WJ amount makes it an attractive source of MSCs for cell-based therapies. However, as in other stem cell models, a deeper...
