The assessment of CD146-based cell sorting and telomere length analysis for establishing the identity of mesenchymal stem cells in human umbilical cord
Adult stem cells are characterised by longer telomeres compared to mature cells from the same tissue. In this study, candidate CD146 + umbilical cord (UC) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were purified by cell sorting from UC tissue digests and their telomere lengths were measured in comparison to dono...
