The Effect of Wharton Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Their Conditioned Media in the Treatment of a Rat Spinal Cord Injury.

The transplantation of Wharton's jelly derived mesenchymal stromal cells (WJ-MSCs) possesses therapeutic potential for the treatment of a spinal cord injury (SCI). Generally, the main effect of MSCs is mediated by their paracrine potential. Therefore, application of WJ-MSC derived conditioned media (CM) is an acknowledged approach for how to bypass the limited survival of transplanted cells.
