The following abstracts are a few of the many important studies related to umbilical cord blood stem cells.  We will continue to add additional abstracts to this section.  Additionally, many of the full papers are available to the public for free. For example, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) does not charge for publications older than six months. However, registration (at no cost) is required to the NEJM website prior to being able to obtain the full paper.
