Abstract excerpt
Retaining biological characteristics in the extended passaging is crucial for human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in tissue engineering. We aimed to assess morphology, viability, MSC marker expression, and osteogenic activity of hUCSMCs after extended passaging. Passages 4 (P4) and 16 (P16) hUCMSCs displayed similar morphology and viability. The flow cytometry results showed that CD73, CD90, and...
