Xenograft of Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Wharton’s Jelly Differentiating into Osteocytes and Reducing Osteoclast Activity Reverses Osteoporosis in Ovariectomized Rats
We examined the effects of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) in Wharton’s jelly on ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis by using in vitro and in vivo experiments. Two months after OVX, the rats gained weight and had a decreased serum estradiol level . Both micro-computed...
