Stem Cells and Cord Blood Research Articles

  Small - Big  

Research into stem cells and cord blood has been a popular topic in the news lately.

The two broad categories of mammalian stem cells are embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts, and adult stem cells which are found in adult tissues. The term adult stem cell refers to any cell which is found in a developed organism that has two properties: the ability to divide and create another cell like itself and also divide and create a cell more differentiated than itself.

Our articles below discuss some of the latest reseach into cord blood and stem cell research happening today.

Stem Cell Panakea provides treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis Multiple Sclerosis and Cancer
A new form of regenerative treatment is now available for those who suffer from conditions beyond the reach of conventional medicine. It is known as the SCP- Stem Cell Panakea and is the brain child of Dr. Omar Gonzalez.
