Autologous transplantation of stem cells is a natural phenomenon at birth in mammals via the umbilical cord. Here, we discuss that a delay in the cord clamping may increase stem cell supply to the baby, thereby allowing an innate stem cell therapy that can render acute benefits in the case of neonatal disease, as well as long-term benefits against age-related diseases.
自体干细胞移植是哺乳动物在出生时通过脐带的一种自然现象。在这里,我们讨论了延迟脐带夹闭可能会增加婴儿的干细胞供应,从而允许进行先天的干细胞治疗,在新生儿疾病的情况下可以带来急性益处,以及针对与年龄相关的疾病的长期益处。
