In-Depth Information
cord tissue stem cells are likely to become the preferred source of stem cells for
many regenerative medicine applications, now and in the future.
Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the invaluable technical assistance all of the
Cord Blood Bank personnel that have made this study possible. I would also like to acknowledge
the numerous physicians, midwifes, and nurses that have participated in the collection of the cord
blood samples. In addition, the author gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Katherine S.
Brown at Cord Blood Registry in the preparation of this manuscript.
