Title: Can umbilical chord bloody be used in medicine?
Post by: thedoc on 05/03/2016 01:50:01
Vlad asked the Naked Scientists:
   Hello Chris!
I've been listening "The naked scientist" podcasts (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) since Jan 2008, it's awesome.
Please, could you share your opinion about usefulness and further medical application of umbilical cord's blood.
There are some services in Ukraine which promise to put it on the shelf for long period storage and use its stem cells just at the time that either the women or her child needs for therapeutic reasons.

Sincerely yours,
Vlad.
