Abstract:Background
The use of a deceased donor (DD) as an alternative source of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) is promising, but has been little explored. This study evaluated the potential of femur bone marrow (FBM) from brain-death donors as a source of hMSC and compared this with hMSC from matched iliac crest bone marrow (ICBM).
Methods
Sixteen donor-matched FBM and ICBM samples were processed from brain-death donors. We analyzed the starting material and compared ce… Show more
