Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from gestational tissues represent promising cell populations with stem cell-like properties for use in regenerative medicine. Previously, we reported that MSCs in the chorionic villi of the human placenta reside in a vascular niche. However, the niche(s) in which MSCs reside in the fetal membranes, another rich source of MSCs, remains to be determined. The cell surface markers STRO-1 and 3G5 were previously employed to identify niches in a variety of tissues and here we use these markers to report the location of the MSC niche in the human decidua parietalis. The cultured decidua parietalis MSCs (DPMSCs) isolated from the choriodecidua component of the fetal..
