Non-enzymatic isolation followed by supplementation of basic fibroblast growth factor improves proliferation, clonogenic capacity and SSEA-4 expression of perivascular cells from human umbilical cord

Multipotent perivascular cells (PVCs) have recently gained attention as an alternative source for cell-based regenerative medicine. Because of their rarity in human tissues, the development of efficient methods to isolate and expand PVCs from various fetal and adult tissues is necessary to obtain a...
