Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have generated a great deal of interest in clinical
application because of their potential use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
However, the therapeutic application of MSCs still remain limited unless the favorable effect
of MSCs for tumor growth in vivo and the long-term safety of the clinical applications of
MSCs are better understood. In this study, MSCs derived from fetal bone marrow (FMSCs)
and adult MSCs (AMSCs) alone or FMSCs and AMSCs with tumor cell line (F6 or SW480) …
