Repair of Osteochondral Defects Using Human Umbilical Cord Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Rabbit Model

Figure 1

Characteristics of human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJMSCs). (a) Morphology of cultured primary hWJMSCs, in which the cells had fibroblast-like shapes and were a homogeneous cell population. (b) Flow cytometric analysis of surface marker expression on hWJMSCs, in which CD44, CD90, CD105, CD166, CD73, and HLA-ABC were positive and CD34, CD45, and HLA-DPDQDR were negative.
