Birth tissues could be goldmine for stem cells, study finds
NCT ID NCT07169838
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether stem cells can be made from tissues that are normally thrown away after childbirth, like the umbilical cord and placenta. Researchers collected 160 samples from healthy mothers and tested how many stem cells they could get, how clean the samples were, and how much it cost. The goal was to find the best and cheapest way to produce these cells for future medical use.
