AB  - Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) are known to have the ability 
  to differentiate into various lineages of mesenchymal tissue. They are widely 
  distributed in a variety of tissues in the body and are also present in the 
  foetal environment. In this study researchers have evaluated the possibility 
  of MSC or cells with MSC-like potency being present in the Umbilical Cord (UC). 
  To research the biological characteristics of rabbit Umbilical Cord Mesenymal 
  Stem Cells (UCMSCs), the methods of immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR were used 
  to detect the surface markers of UCMSCs. Growth curves were drawn in accordance 
  with the cell numbers. To assess the differentiating capacity of UCMSCs, cells 
  were induced to neural cells. These results suggested that the UCMSCs isolated 
  from rabbit owned the similar biological characteristics with the cells separated 
  from other species and the potential of differentiation of UCMSCs may represent 
  an ideal candidate resource for cellular transplant therapy in tissue engineering.
