Abstract

Mesenchymal Stemcells-have been considered a promising tool for tissue repair and regeneration. Different sources of mesenchymal stem cells may differ in their biological characteristics and clinical applications. This short communication gives an over view about the isolation, characterization, multi lineage and proliferation capacity of mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED).The differences may be associated with different levels of cytokines, growth factors, surface markers, fibroblast growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor expression and receptor activity.
