The Future of Neonatal ICU
The birth of a child is a wonderful and very complex process. Many physical and emotional changes occur for both mother and child. A child must make many physical adjustments for life outside the mother's body. Leaving the uterus means that a baby can no longer depend on the placenta for the mother's blood supply and vital body functions.
Culture and Evolution of Stem Cell Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB)
Stem cells are protected from umbilical cord blood because it has the ability to regenerate in any type of body cells. In life threatening lethal and non-fatal diseases, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can help save a person's life. In addition, therapy is comparatively effective and has limited side effects. Umbilical stem cells are used to treat cancer, blood diseases such as anemia and some immune system disorders.
