How does cord lining stem cells measure up?
| Mesenchymal Cells | Epithelial Cells | Hematopoietic Cells | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cord Lining Stem Cells | 1 : 1 | 1 : 1 | NIL |
| Cord Blood | 1 : 100,000 | NIL | 1 : 10,000 |
| Bone Marrow | 1 : 300,000 | NIL | 1 : 100,000 |
Table 1 – Potential Stem Cells : Total Cell Ratio
| Cord Lining Stem Cells | Hematopoietic Stem Cells | |
|---|---|---|
| Per Cord | 2 billion stem cells (equal number of mesenchymal and epithelial cells) | 1.5 million stem cells |
