Cord Blood-Current Status and Perspective
Umbilical cord blood (CB) is increasingly used as a source of stem cells to repopulate bone marrow in the treatment of life-threatening diseases in children and adults. I review the relationship between the placenta and circulating CB stem cells for hematopoiesis, the clinical results of cord blood stem cell transplantation, and I particularly emphasizethe criteria of CB donor choice. The scientific progress for the use of CB has resulted in the organization of CB banks all over the world. I also review the status of CB banks and networking systems worldwide as recipients of government-based political support.

Abstract
Umbilical cord blood (CB) is increasingly used as a source of stem cells to repopulate bone marrow in the treatment of life-threatening diseases in children and adults.

The scientific progress for the use of CB has resulted in the organization of CB banks all over the world. I also review the status of CB banks and networking systems worldwide as recipients of government-based political support.
