Umbilical cord blood transplantation: A review of atricles
Interest in umbilical cord blood as an alternative source of hematopietic stem cells is growing rapidly. Umbilical cord blood offers the clinician a source of hematopoietic stem cells that are readily available and rarely contaminated by latent viruses. Moreover, the collection of umbilical cord blo...
