Isolation of Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells
摘要
Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (WJSCs) are growing in popularity as an option for cell-based therapies. These cells are found within the gelatinous matrix of the umbilical cord, referred to as Wharton’s jelly. WJSCs can be isolated by enzymatic tissue digestion or by using the explant method. Here, we discuss the explant method for the isolation of WJSCs.
