Does the transplant of umbilical cord blood is still experimental?
The use of primary cells of cord blood for transplantation holds great promise but this area of medical science is still mostly experimental. Only in 1988, French researchers performed the first successful transplant with primary cells with cord blood. The transplant was taken from a newborn to a brother five years with a syndrome that included severe anemia skeletal defects (Fanconi anemia). Since then, cord blood donor with family relationship or wrongly, has been successfully transplanted into approximately 2,000 people worldwide. Doctors of the Mattel Children's Hospital of the University... (Read more)

The umbilical cord blood helps to regenerate the brain
By injecting umbilical cord blood in laboratory rats elderly, researchers at the University of South Florida (United States) have found improvements in the microenvironment of the hippocampus region of the brain of animals and a subsequent rejuvenation of neural progenitor stem cells . The results of their study are published in the digital edition of BMC Neuroscience.
