Discarded human neonatal thymus tissue is a source of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). (A): Discarded human neonatal thymus tissue during pediatric cardiac surgery. (B): Minced thymus tissue prior to plating. (C): Cells migrating from thymus tissue fragments during explant culture at 10 days. (D): Clonogenicity of thymus MSCs at 2 weeks (representative of 7 donors). (E): Colony-forming efficiency of thymus MSCs. (F): Averaged cumulative population doubling of thymus MSCs (n = 4) over 9 weeks of culture. Abbreviation: CFU-F, fibroblastic colony-forming unit.
