Umbilical cord-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells: biological properties and clinical applications
The article presents the current literature evidence and own data on the origin and properties of human umbilical cord-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells including proliferative potential, plasticity, stability of caryotype and phenotype, and immunomodulatory activity A review of clinical trials using this cell type is performed Prospects for the use of multipotent stromal cells, derived from umbilical cord, in cell transplantation associate with the need for specialized biobanking and transplant standardization criteria
