Isolation, Culture and Comprehensive Characterization of Biological Properties of Human Urine-Derived Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent an attractive source within the field of tissue engineering. However, their harvesting often requires invasive medical procedures. Urine-derived stem cells (UDSCs) display similar properties to MSCs, and their obtention and further processing is non-invasive f...
