Umbilical cord blood cells and brain stroke injury
Degeneration of brain tissue following stroke leads to functional impairment with limited brain self-repair. New evidence suggests that intravenous delivery of the CD34+ subpopulation of human Umbilical cord blood cells can enhance angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and morphological and functional recovery. Behavioral recovery from stroke and injury following delivery of human umbilical cord blood cells has been observed, but in the absence of significant numbers of grafted cells entering the brain t...
