It is not certain yet whether this particular finding is going to impact collection of a large number of stem cells from circulating blood (just 2~3 fold). However, it is also important to remember that simply increasing number of stem cells (e.g. ex vivo methods) is not going to help much either. The key is to increase the number and at the same time to maintain functionalities of stem cells. That is why cord blood bank or any method that employs stem cells at physiological levels is going to be important. Thank you for the comment.

I wasnt aware that this kind of research was going on. The possibilities Its good to see somebody else spreading the word about stem cells. I wasnt aware that this kind of research was going on.
