Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth, which is usually discarded It contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, like blood. In addition, cord blood is a rich source of stem cells that may have potentially lifesaving benefits for your baby and family. The cord blood of baby serves as an abundant source of stem cells. Thes...

Hernia funiculi umbilicalis. a hernia of the umbilical cord is developmental defect, consequence underdevelopment abdominal integument in navel, "while peritoneum appears to be already formed" (Tikhov).

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multi-potent cells that have the capability of differentiating into adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic and neural cells. With these multiple capabilities, MSCs have been highly regarded as an effective transplantable cell source for regenerative medicine. A large bank of these cells can be found in several regions of the human umbilical cord, including the...

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells [4] are hematopoietic stem cells [5] (HSC) that are recovered from the blood of the umbilical cord [6] and placenta [7] after birth. Umbilical cord blood is rich in cells that express the CD34 molecule, a surface protein that identifies cells as stem cells [4]. Prior to the discovery of UCB stem cells [4], it was standard procedure to discard the umbilical ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diameter changes of umbilical cord components in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) fetuses comparative with normal growth fetuses by using the ultrasonogram. MATERIAL AND METHOD A cross sectional study was performed with 140 singleton pregnant women who was attended at Maternal-Fetal Medicine unit, Thammasat University Hospital between June, 2007 to May, 2009. ...

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (UMSCs) demonstrate great therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine. The use of UMSCs for clinical applications requires high quantity and good quality usually by vitro expansion. However, the heterogeneity characteristics cultured cognate human cord tissue at single-cell resolution remain poorly defined. In this study, we created...

objectives: controversial findings exist regarding the association between neonate gender and umbilical cord blood lipid levels. this study aims to compare the levels of lipids and lipoprotein b-100 in the umbilical cord blood of male and female newborns and assess the impact of these factors on neonatal anthropometric measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 75 health...
