Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Gestational Diabetes Show Impaired Ability to Upregulate Paracellular Permeability from Sub-endothelial Niche

Scientists investigated whether Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells isolated from gestational diabetes pregnancies displayed any changes in morphology, proliferation, VEGF-A secretion, and their ability to influence paracellular junctional composition and permeability.
