Wharton’s jelly absence: a possible cause of stillbirth
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The umbilical cord is a structure that provides vascular flow between the fetus and the placenta. It contains two arteries and one vein, which are surrounded and supported by gelatinous tissue known as Wharton’s jelly. There are many umbilical cord abnormalities that are related to the prognosis of fetus survival and birth weight. The authors report a case of umbilical cord constriction due to the localized absence of Wharton’s jelly, which was undiagnosed antenatally and had a fatal outcome. A review of the association between the absence of Wharton’s jelly and an unfavorable pregnancy outcome was undertaken.

متن کاملIsolation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Wharton’s Jelly in Comparison with Bone Marrow and Their Endothelial Differentiation
Objective: Umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly as source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be easily obtained. In this study, MSCs were isolated from bone marrow and Wharton’s jelly and induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cells. Materials and Methods: MSCs were isolated and induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cells using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The endothe...
متن کاملMesenchymal cells isolation from Wharton’s jelly, in perspective to clinical applications
Recent years have seen progress in isolation and expansion of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord tissue, namely the Wharton’s jelly. Situated between the subamnion and the perivascular zone that surrounds the blood vessels (Troyer & Weiss, 2008), Wharton’s jelly is a matrix of mucous connective tissue, composed of fibroblast-like stromal cells, collagen fibers and proteoglycans,...
متن کاملWharton’s Jelly-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells can Differentiate into Hepatocyte-like Cells by HepG2 Cell Line Extract
Background: Wharton’s jelly is an unlimited source of stem cells that can be used in cell therapy and tissue engineering without any ethical concern. It has been revealed the cell-free extract could be effective to induce cell differentiation. The objective of this study was to induce Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into hepatocyte-like cells by premeabilization of the cel...
متن کاملMale germ-like cell differentiation potential of human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells in co-culture with human placenta cells in presence of BMP4 and retinoic acid
Objective(s):Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) are now much more appealing for cell-based infertility therapy. Hence, WJ-MSCs differentiation toward germ layer cells for cell therapy purposes is currently under intensive study. Materials and Methods: MSCs were isolated from human Wharton’s jelly and treated with BMP4, retinoic acid (RA) or co-cultured on huma...
