Stem cells are defined by two properties. First, they can ‘self-renew,’ that is they can divide and give rise to more stem cells of the same kind. Second, they can mature or ‘differentiate’ into specialized cells that carry out a specific function such as in the skin, muscle, or ...
Stem cells could be used to treat haematopoietic and genetic disorders. In a cord blood transplant, stem cells are infused into a patient’s bloodstream where they go to work - healing and repairing damaged cells and tissue. Upon successful engraftment of the stem cells, the patient’s blood ...
The article focuses on the findings of a study conducted by Doctor Carlos Lima that shows that a treatment that transplants patients' own nasal stem cells to the site of a spinal cord injury can renew the sensation and motor control of paralyzed patients. The study is being ignored by the ...

The Cells4Life Difference Stem cells have two crucial properties: 1. the ability to self-renew 2. the ability to differentiate into other cell types We have been able to demonstrate not just viability, but also that our transportation, processing and cryopreservation methods maintain these ...

Mesenchymal stem cellsDifferentiationCytoskeletonCells in the umbilical cord stroma have gained attention in recent years; however, differentiation to certain lineages in humans has been demonstrated in few studies. Unlike bone marrow MSCs, human umbilical cord stroma cells (HUCSCs) are far from being ...
Human spinal-cord-like tissues induced from human pluripotent stem cells are typically insufficiently mature and do not mimic the morphological features of neurulation. Here, we report a three-dimensional culture system and protocol for the production of human spinal-cord-like organoids (hSCOs) recap...
“There has been interest for some time in the potential use of blood from the umbilical cord as a source of stem cells for therapy in a variety of diseases. This study has shown for the first time that it’s possible to turn cord blood stem cells into cells that look like heart muscl...
