Perinatal stem cells
Perinatal stem cells are obtained immediately before or after birth. These include those derived from umbilical cord blood and tissue, placental blood and tissue, and amniotic fluid and tissue. When stem cells were first identified, only two types of stem cells were described: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Nowadays, there is a diverse range of stem cells, as the variety of adult stem cell types has increased significantly and induced pluripotent stem cells have since been discovered.
In the following video, Prof. Breymann, MD, gives an update on the state of perinatal stem cells and potential applications.
