Abstract
Since their first identification in bone marrow [2],MSC have attracted much attention for thei r potential todifferentiate towards several mature tissues. The efforts ofthe researchers aimed in finding new tissues, whichshould provide adequate cell numbers for regenerativemedicine applications (and between them, extraembryonicsources as umbilical cord and amniotic membrane, arebeing viewed with extreme interest).
