Abstract


Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a devastating metabolic disease. Stem cell therapy provides great hope to all diabetic patients. Umbilical cord (UC) Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) specifically provides a potential cell therapy for DM. In this article, we discuss major advantages of WJ-MSCs and challenges facing their clinical utility in DM.
