The uses of umbilical cord stem cells are rapidly increasing. A few decades ago, cord blood could treat about 40 conditions but today, that number is now over 80. These therapies predominantly use matched donor stem cells, such as those from a sibling, however perhaps the most exciting developments are in the field of regenerative medicine. Today, clinical trials are investigating new stem cell therapies for diseases and disorders like diabetes, autism and stroke, and much more. You can keep up to date with the latest developments in regenerative medicine on our stem cell blog.

Cord Tissue Stem Cells Enter a Trial for CTE – the Brain Injury Linked to Repeated Head Knocks
Key details A first-of-its-kind trial: A US biotech, TriCelX, has taken a stem cell therapy into an early-stage clinical trial for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – the progressive brain condition caused by repeated knocks to the head. There has never been an…
Stem Cell Anti-Ageing Trial Launches in China Using Cord Tissue Stem Cells
Key details A landmark trial: One of the largest stem cell studies of its kind has launched in China, hoping to recruit around 2,000 adults aged 50 and over to explore whether stem cells can help people stay healthier and more active as they age. Cord tissue stem…
Could Stem Cell “Particles” Offer a New Way to Treat Chronic Nerve Pain?
Key details UK research: A University of Reading team has been awarded funding to explore whether tiny particles produced by stem cells could offer a new way to treat chronic nerve pain.[1] Not the cells, but what they release: The project focuses on extracellular…
The Potential of Stem Cells for Achilles Tendon Repair
Imagine suffering a debilitating injury and facing the prospect of complex reconstructive surgery, only to find an alternative that could see you returning to recreational sports in just four months. This is the highly encouraging outcome of a recent prospective study…
Stem Cell Therapy Potential for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Key details Disabling condition: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness due to the absence of dystrophin, a protein essential for maintaining muscle integrity. Increasing scientific interest in whether…
