Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Human perinatal tissue has drawn extensive attention as an excellent resource of mesenchymal stem cells. 
OBJECTIVE: To compare the different characteristics of three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells from different human perinatal tissues.
METHODS: The PudMed database was searched for the related articles published from January 2002 to April 2012 with the key words of “mesenchymal stem cells, fetal blood, umbilical cord, placenta”. The most authorized and representative articles related to mesenchymal stromal cells from the fetal blood, umbilical cord and placenta were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: More than 248 articles were screened out by computer according to inclusive and exclusive criteria after initial search, 16 documents of which were involved for review. Articles illuminated the isolation methods and biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells from the three different human perinatal tissues. Compared with the mesenchymal stem cells from the fetal blood and placenta, the mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord have become the relatively superior sources of mesenchymal stem cells due to the advantages of simple separation method, highs separation rate, high amplified potential, high differentiation potential and low tumorigenicity.
