Brief Answer:
Please let me know the indication for stem cell requirement.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Stem cells are isolated from cord blood of newborns.
Cord blood of newborns in rich in stem cells. These cells are harvested and kept under special environmental conditions so that they can be used in future when the baby grows up if required.
Other individuals can use stem cells from unrelated newborn after HLA typing.
Now, before discussing the topic further and providing you details of stem cell centres, please let me know your requirement for stem cells.
Thanks and take care
