Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
Hematopoietic Stem Cells: What Diseases Can these Stem Cells Treat?
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined as stem cells that have a preference for becoming cells of the blood and immune system, such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Found in the peripheral blood and bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells are also present in plentiful supply within the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies.
For the past thirty years, cord blood has been used within transplant medicine, including for the treatment of leukemia and other blood diseases. For most conditions in which a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant is an option, a cord blood transplant is a potential alternative.

The Future of Stem Cell Therapeutics – Balancing Safety and Efficacy
What do we know of the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapeutics? Over 50 years have passed since the discovery of hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow transplantation to cure diseases such as leukemia), over 20 years since the discovery of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), and 15 years since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). There are now thousands of stem cell trials underway in clinics worldwide.
Despite this experience, what do we actually know about the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapeutics? [Read more…]

Stem Cell Therapy Shows Promise for Treatment of MS – Q&A with Dr. Sadiq of the Tisch MS Research Center of NY
In breaking news from the Tisch MS Research Center of New York, Dr. Sadiq announced he is pursuing a Phase II clinical trial exploring the use of stem cells in the treatment of MS. The announcement followed positive results from a FDA-approved Phase I stem cell trial in which MS patients received multiple spinal injections of neural progenitors derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (called MSC-NPs). Compellingly, it was the first time ever that a treatment method has demonstrated reversal of established disability in MS patients. [Read more…]
Cord Blood Market Segmentation in 2022
Cord blood market segmentation is one of the most important (and least appreciated) parts of analyzing the cord blood banking industry. As the first and only market research firm to track the stem cell industry, BioInformant has collected over 16 years of historical information on the cord blood industry from 2006 to present. This provides a powerful record if past industry dynamics, as well as a robust platform for making future projections. [Read more…]
