Umbilical Cord Tissue Offers the Greatest Number of Harvestable Mesenchymal Stem Cells

January 25, 2019

The umbilical cord blood is regarded as the “life line” that supplies the developing fetus with the important nutrition elements and oxygen required for proper fetal development. Beside its role in development, umbilical cord blood has been also involved in therapeutic applications, which was reported for the first time in 1972 by clinicians in the United States to treat a case with lymphoblastic leukemia [1].
