Research Abstract |
This study is aimed to find the source cells for regenerative medicine, such as Very Small ES like(VSEL) cells in umbilical cord blood(UCB). We found the SSEA3^+very small N/C high-ratio cells, but too low incidence to do further analysis. On the other hand, in umbilical cord(UC)-derived mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs), we found the SSEA3/4+cells with ES-specific gene markers. Not only UCB, but also UC-MSCs may be good candidate source for the regenerative medicine.
