A Comparison of in vivo Tumor-Homing Abilities of Placental-Derived and Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in High-Risk Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a highly lethal malignancy of young children. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may represent a novel cellular delivery vehicle due to their innate tumor-homing properties. We compared in vivo homing abilities of placental-derived MSCs (PMSCs) and bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) in an orthotopic neuroblastoma xenograft.
