Unlabelled: Different therapeutic techniques have been developed for regeneration of articular cartilage injuries, but none has provided an optimal solution to their treatment. Human umbilical cord blood-mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUCB-MSCs) have been considered as promising alternative cell source for cartilage repair.
Objectives: Examining the success rate of MSCs isolation from HUCB as well as chondrogenic differentiation potential of HUCB-MSCs in vitro.
