Frontiers of Cord Blood Science

Frontiers of Cord Blood Science edited by Niranjan Bhattacharya, Phillip Stubblefield.

Since the first successful transplantation of umbilical cord blood in 1988, cord blood has become an important source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for the treatment of blood and genetic disorders. Significant progress has been accompanied by challenges for scientists, ethicists, and he...
