Comparison of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Bone Marrow, Umbilical Cord Blood, and Umbilical Cord Tissue in Regeneration of a Full-Thickness Tendon Defect In Vitro and In Vivo

Researchers evaluated the potential of one marrow-, umbilical cord blood- and umbilical cord-MSC to differentiate into tendon-like cells in tensioned three-dimensional construct using gene and histological analysis.
