Umbilical Cord Perivascular Cells: A Mesenchymal Cell Source for Treatment of Tendon and Ligament Injuries

We investigated the capacity of human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUCPVCs) to repair tendon damage in a collagenase tendon injury model in rats. Our hypothesis was that HUCPVCs would be able to produce an organized extracellular matrix and facilitate tissue regeneration in this rat model. HUC...
