Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stromal cells derived from preterm umbilical cord reveal a hepatogenic potential
This study showed that even if pregnancy has been interrupted before the 22nd week, p-WJ-MSCs had the same differentiative ability as the counterpart derived from the full-term UC, that we have previously demonstrated, and can be considered a valid cellular population for liver cell therapy.
