Umbilical Cord as Prospective Source for Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents current evidence on the properties of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, including origin, proliferative potential, plasticity, stability of karyotype and phenotype, transcriptome, secretome, and immunomodulatory activity. A review of preclinical studies and clinical trials using this cell type is performed. Prospects for the use of mesenchymal stem cells, derived from the umbilical cord, in cell transplantation are associated with the need for specialized biobanking and transplant standardization criteria.

Study of telomerase activity, proliferation and differentiation characteristics in umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells
In recent years, considerable advances have been made in the field of regenerative medicine. Unlikeembryonic stem cells, which pose the problems of ethical concerns and cause severe immunological reactions as well as neoplasma formation after transplantation, umbilical cord blood is a primitive source ofmesenchymal stem cells that covers the benefits of both embryonic and adult stem cells. It h...
متن کاملThe effect of amniotic membrane extract on umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell expansion: is there any need to save the amniotic membrane besides the umbilical cord blood?
Objective(s): Umbilical cord blood is a good source of the mesenchymal stem cells that can be banked, expanded and used in regenerative medicine. The objective of this study was to test whether amniotic membrane extract, as a rich source of growth factors such as basic-fibroblast growth factor, can promote the proliferation potential of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Materials and ...
متن کاملMultilineage Differentiation Activity by the Human Umbilical Vein-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a very promising transplantable stem cell source for a variety of cell replacement therapies. As the main source of MSC is bone marrow (BM), most of studies have been done on BM-derived MSC (BM-MSC). Umbilical cord (UC)-derived MSC (UC-MSC) which are recently introduced, is one of the good alternative source for these cells. The objective of this stu...
متن کاملInm-7: Cord Blood Banking Potential and Prospective
The term “cord blood” is used for blood that is drawn from the umbilical cord and the placenta after a baby is born. Up until recently this afterbirth was discarded as medical waste. Cord blood contains stem cells that may be frozen for later use in medical therapies, such as stem cell transplantation or regenerative medicine. The umbilical cord and placenta are rich sources of stem cells. Thes...

s:3604:"During pregnancy, the placenta delivers "cord blood" to the baby through the umbilical cord serving as a lifeline of nourishment from the mother to baby. At birth, "cord blood" remains in the umbilical cord and placenta and until recently, had typically been discarded. The tragedy of this practice is that "cord blood" contains very special cells called "stem cells". Recent advances in m...
