Comparison of different methods for the isolation of mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord matrix: Proliferation and multilineage differentiation as compared to mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow

Abstract excerpt

We have identified the most appropriate method of isolating human umbilical cord matrix-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCM-MSCs) and compared morphological, phenotypic, proliferative, and differentiation characteristics of UCM-MSCs with bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) and umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (UCB-MSCs). Three explant culture methods and 3 enzymatic methods were compared with regards to time for...
