Effect of Cell-Derived Matrices on Growth and Differentiation of Human Wharton's Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Cell-derived matrices (CDMs) are scaffolds constructed by decellularization of cellular matrices from different tissues and organs. Since CDMs mimic the extracellular matrices (ECMs) of native tissues, it plays an essential role in the preparation of bioscaffolds. CDM scaffolds from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to support cell adhesion and proliferation of its own cells.
