Inflammatory Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Stem Cell-Like Characteristics of Cancer Cells in an IL-1<i>β</i>-Dependent Manner

<div><i>Characteristics of UC-MSCs.</i> (a) Immunofluorescent staining of CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD105 in human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs). (b) Flow cytometry analysis of CD44, CD90, and CD105 expression in UC-MSCs. (c) Differentiation of UC-MSCs into 3 distinct lineages, namely, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts.</div>
