Due to the large number of public banking projects supported by the government, it is difficult to the get the right match at the right time. Cord Blood Registry is located in Tucson, Arizona which, historically speaking, is not plagued by any kind of natural disasters whatsoever. However, there have been new scientific breakthroughs in the field of stem cell research using cord blood stem cells from living babies. The blood is then processed and slowly frozen to -196 degrees. 4. With the advancement of stem cell research, there is likely to be more uses for cord blood in the future. Another benefit you can take is that it has low risk of contamination for it is collected from pregnant mother who has lower risk of blood-borne diseases and viruses.

Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012 A science ministry working group studying stem cells and regenerative medicine has updated its road map on induced pluripotent stem-cell research, aiming to create human organs including brains, lungs and kidneys via iPS cells within 10 years. The group's updated plan, first compiled in 2009, calls for the distribution of iPS cells for regenerative medicine to start within the next two to three years. The announcement comes after Kyoto University professor Shinya Yamanaka jointly won this year's Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his revolutionary work in developing iPS cells. The new road map includes a plan by the government-backed Riken research institute to begin a clinical study in fiscal 2013 on the transplantation of retinas created through iPS cells into patients suffering age-related deterioration in their vision. In addition, a clinical study on heart muscle will start within three to five years, targeting patients who have suffered heart attacks or are experiencing other cardiac diseases. A study on brain nerve cells will also be launched in five to seven years, mainly for patients afflicted with Parkinson's disease. Riken official Shinichi Nishikawa, also a member of the ministry's working group, said researchers from various fields … Continue reading →
