Stem cells in the umbilical cord

Shivani, Monika Sharma and Adil Hussain

The future of medicine lies in stem cells. It is believed that stem cells hold enormous medicinal and biotechnological promise. In addition to replacing damaged or malfunctioning cells, this will also allow the cells to be salvaged and/or deliver therapeutic proteins after they have been modified to do so. Both embryonic and foetal stem cells are currently surrounded by ethical and scientific questions that prevent their widespread use. On the other hand, postnatally recovered stem cells from the umbilical cord, such as umbilical cord blood cells, amnion/placenta, umbilical cord vein, or umbilical cord matrix cells, are an easily accessible and reasonably priced source of cells that are "multipotent," meaning they can form a wide variety of cell types. This review will compare adult stem cells with those produced from the umbilical cord.
