2. Umbilical cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord

   The umbilical cord lining is a good source of mesenchymal and epithelial stem cells. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) have been used clinically to treat osteoarthritis, autoimmune diseases, and multiple other conditions. Their advantages include a better harvesting, and multiplication, and immunosuppressive properties that define ...

3. Cord blood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_blood

   Cord blood is being used to get stem cells with which to test in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. [42] The stem cells from umbilical cord blood are also being used in the treatment of a number of blood diseases including blood cancers. [43] Cord blood is also being studied as a substitute for normal blood transfusions in the developing world.

4. Cord lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_lining

   The umbilical cord lining membrane is a rich source of two strains of stem cells (CLSCs): epithelial stem cells (from the amniotic layer) (CLECs) and mesenchymal stem cells (from the sub-amniotic layer) (CLMCs). Discovered by Singapore-based CellResearch Corporation in 2004, this is the best known source for harvesting human stem cells.

5. Cord blood bank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_blood_bank

   Cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells (which can differentiate only into blood cells), and should not be confused with embryonic stem cells or pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any cell in the body. [2] [3] Cord blood stem cells are blood cell progenitors which can form red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets ...

6. Wharton's jelly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharton's_jelly

   Cells in Wharton's jelly express several stem cell genes, including telomerase. They can be extracted, cultured, and induced to differentiate into mature cell types such as neurons . [ 3 ] Wharton's jelly is therefore a potential source of adult stem cells , often collected from cord blood .

7. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   Research is underway to examine the differentiating capabilities of stem cells found in the umbilical cord, yolk sac and placenta of different animals. These stem cells are thought to have more differentiating ability than their adult counterparts, including the ability to more readily form tissues of endodermal and ectodermal origin. [23]
