2. Cord blood bank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_blood_bank

   After the health care provider draws the cord blood from the placental end of the umbilical cord, the placenta is couriered to the stem cell laboratory, where it is processed for additional stem cells. An adequate cord blood collection requires at least 75mL in order to ensure that there will be enough cells to be used for a transplantation.

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. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   In 2021, stem cell injections in the US have caused grave infections in at least 20 patients who received umbilical cord blood-derived products marketed as "stem cell treatment". [79] In 2023, the case of a woman who was infected with Mycobacterium abscessus and sustained meningitis after stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis at a ...

5. Stem-cell line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_line

   Mesenchymal stem cells are found in umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, and adipose tissue and can generate a number of cell types, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. In medicine, adult stem cells are mostly commonly used in bone marrow transplants to treat many bone and blood cancers as well as some autoimmune diseases. [3]

6. Amniotic stem cell bank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniotic_stem_cell_bank

   An amniotic stem cell bank is a facility that stores stem cells derived from amniotic fluid for future use. Stem cell samples in private (or family) banks are stored specifically for use by the individual person from whom such cells have been collected and the banking costs are paid by such person.

7. 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.
