Researchers make 'embryonic-like' stem cells from umbilical cord blood
A breakthrough in human stem cell research, producing embryonic-like cells from umbilical cord blood may substantially speed up the development of treatments for life-threatening illnesses, injuries and disabilities. The discovery made during a project undertaken with experts from the University of Texas Medical Branch and the Synthecon Corporation in the United States provides medical researcher...Adult stem cells from human cord umbilical cord blood successfully engineered to make insulin

Leukemia patients in need of a bone marrow transplant may have new hope, say researchers based on findings of a recent study // .Researchers say stem cell transplants from cord blood can be effective in people who don’t have a sibling to serve as a bone marrow donor or those who can’t find a suitable unrelated donor in bone marrow registries. For the study researchers looked at results...Umbilical Cord Blood Could Predict Childhood Allergies
Allergen levels in cord blood may be a more important factor associated with childhood allergies and asthma than environmental exposure , or non-exposure, to allergens say researchers according to a new study . // The study tracked 1,300 children born between 1989 and 1990 who had a sample of their cord blood serum taken at birth to measure IgE levels, which is an immune system response...A Novel System For Clinical Banking Of Umbilical Cord Blood
Researchers from Italy have designed a closed circuit, where Umbilical cord blood (UCB) collection and RBC depletion are performed, in order to reduce the contamination risk and to speed the nucleated cell separation//. Their findings appear in the journal Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases (available online 19 August 2005)Umbilical cord blood is a source of hematopoietic progenitor...Delay Umbilical Cord Clamping in Pre Term Babies
According to a revolutionary new study by a University of Rhode Island professor of nursing, delaying the clamping the umbilical cords of pre term babies can protect// them from brain hemorrhages as well as infections. The results of the federally funded study by Judith Mercer, a clinical professor of nursing and certified nurse-midwife, were published in the latest issue of Pediatrics,...
