Increased Proliferation and Differentiation Capacity of Placenta-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Women of Median Maternal Age Correlates with Telomere Shortening

Researchers investigated the effect of maternal age on the biological characteristics and stemness properties of placenta-derived MSCs (PDMSCs). PDMSCs were isolated from 5 donor age groups for comparison of morphological, proliferative and differentiation properties.
