Spontaneous formation of spheroids in human umbilical cord matrix derived cells culture

Abstract

The possibility of formation of spontaneous spheroids („mesenspheres”) in some samples of human umbilical cord matrix mesenchymal cell cultures are shown. The cellular composition of these formations and some of their properties are analyzed. Presence of undifferentiated cells in the spheroids is shown. Apparently, spheroids are the kind of cell state in culture.
