There has been found within the UCB SC capable of transform into differents kinds of cells, like osteoblasts, chondroblasts, adiposytes, and neural cell, beta cells and cardiac cells. UCB has more SC than bone marrow and peripheral blood. In this paper we present an actuallized panorama about stem cells and its clinical application.
