Experimental design. Isolation and expansion of MSCs, derived from WJ explants and enzymatically dissociated WJ, in a XF medium defined for MSCs, followed by their characterization, not the least by investigating their osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic (at P2 and P5) and endothelial differentiation capacity (at P2, as compared to WJ-derived cells expanded from P0 in endothelial differentiation conditions), for use in different clinical settings of regenerative and reconstructive medicine [13, 16–19, 29, 30, 39]. MSCs, mesenchymal stem cells; P, passage; UC, umbilical cord; WJ, Wharton’s jelly; XF, xeno-free.
