Abstract:First trimester (FTM) and term human umbilical cord perivascular cells are promising mesenchymal stromal cell candidates to mitigate side effects of oncotherapy, but their safety for cancer patients remains to be determined. This study was designed to determine if human umbilical cord perivascular cells modulate tumor growth when injected systemically in a tumor-bearing mouse model. Immunodeficient mice-bearing palpable subcutaneous SK-MEL-28 human melanoma tumors were randomized to receive a tail vein injecti… Show more
