Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Umbilical Cord Matrix (hMSC-UC) are harvested from normal human umbilical cord matrix (Wharton’s jelly). The cells are tested for their ability to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC), also termed Mesenchymal Stromal Cells, are multipotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types and have the capacity for self renewal. MSC have been shown to differentiate in vitro or in vivo into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, myocytes, neurons, hepatocytes, and pancreatic islet cells. Optimised PromoCell media are available to support both the growth of MSC and their differentiation into several different lineages. Recent experiments suggest that differentiation capabilities into diverse cell types vary between MSC of different origin

Applications include: Stem cell research, regenerative medicine research, tissue engineering studies, developmental experiments.

PromoCell's hMSC-BM cells show a verified marker expression profile that complies with ISCT* recommendations, providing well characterised cells.
