Abstract:
Umbilical cord blood is an important graft source in the treatment of many genetic, hematologic, and immunologic disorders by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Millions of cord blood units have been collected and stored for clinical use since the inception of cord blood banking in 1989. However, the use of cord blood in biomedical research has been limited by access to viable samples. Here, we present a cost-effective, self-sustaining model for the procurement of fresh umbilical cord blood components for research purposes within hospital-affiliated academic institutions.
