    Human Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Promote Bone Formation in Immunodeficient Mice When Administered into a Bone Microenvironment

    The authors investigated how physiological bone environments affect the osteogenic commitment of recalcitrant MSCs in vitro and in vivo. To this end, MSC of bone marrow and Wharton’s jelly origin were co-cultured and induced for synchronous osteogenic differentiation in vitro using transwells.

    A Simple Way to Save Premature Babies

    Shortly after a baby is born, doctors clamp the umbilical cord linking the infant to the placenta, which is still inside the mother’s uterus, and then cut it. New research shows that if doctors wait at least two minutes after the birth to clamp the cord, they significantly improve in-hospital survival rates for premature infants.
