In this Age of Information, with a few taps across a computer keyboard, patients can find out so much about stem cells and how they are used in a variety of diagnoses. The problem this presents is that the Internet is so inundated with conflicting information, it can be hard to figure out what鈥檚 real and what鈥檚 make-believe [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Roberto-Firmino-Jersey/]Roberto Firmino Liverpool Jersey[/url] , particularly when it comes to valid sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This is why it鈥檚 so important that physicians providing stem cell treatments are a reputable source for their patients. If the physician鈥檚 own primary source of stem cell information is a vendor selling him or her a product, however, the patient is better off scouring the Internet for more-reliable sources. Why?

We鈥檙e seeing cord blood vendors making claims that their products contain mesenchymal stem cells. So does cord blood have mesenchymal stem cells or doesn鈥檛 it? How can the vendor claim one thing and our testing show something entirely different? We鈥檒l leave you to process that for a bit, but [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Rhian-Brewster-Jersey/]Rhian Brewster Liverpool Jersey[/url] , for now, let鈥檚 take a look at the results of some of the published scientific literature.

What the Literature Says About MSCs and Cord Blood

First, there are, in fact [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Ragnar-Klavan-Jersey/]Ragnar Klavan Liverpool Jersey[/url] , MSCs found in umbilical cord blood鈥攂ut as you will see from the three studies referenced in the brief video above, they are few in number and the chances of successful isolation of MSCs from cord blood is very low. Here are what each of those studies concluded:

The first paper (Secco et al.) looked at 10 matched umbilical cord blood (UCB) and umbilical cord (UC) samples. MSCs were only able to be cultured from 1 (10% recovery) UCB sample.

The second paper (Sibov et al.) plated 119 UCB units and found that only 11 units contained MSCs (<10% recovery).

The third paper (Divya et al.) plated 45 UCB samples, and 9 samples generated MSCs (20% recovery).

So in the first two studies, they got NOn MSCs from cord blood about 90% of the time. The third fared a little better [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Rafael-Camacho-Jersey/]Rafael Camacho Liverpool Jersey[/url] , recovering NO MSCs from cord blood 80% of the time. So why so few MSCs in cord blood, and if they aren鈥檛 in the UCB, where are they? Let me explain.

Does Cord Blood Have Mesenchymal Stem cells? No,They鈥檙e in the Wharton鈥檚 Jelly

The umbilical cord houses three vessels (one vein and two arteries) [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Pedro-Chirivella-Jersey/]Pedro Chirivella Liverpool Jersey[/url] , which tunnel down the middle of the cord. The cord blood lives inside of the veins and artery. Inside the umbilical cord, these vessels are embedded in and supported by a mucous-like substance called Wharton鈥檚 jelly. It鈥檚 not difficult to understand why we鈥檙e finding so few MSCs in cord blood. The MSCs in the umbilical cord don鈥檛 generally live in the cord blood; reliable sources of umbilical cord MSCs are found in the Wharton鈥檚 jelly.

Now, don鈥檛 get too excited. Just knowing where MSCs are in the umbilical cord doesn鈥檛 mean we can package up vials of Wharton鈥檚 jelly and market them to the masses as live mesenchymal stem cells. It鈥檚 just not that easy. The Interventional Orthopedics Foundation has tested many different birth-tissue products to date, and they鈥檝e found no viable [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Nathaniel-Phillips-Jersey/]Nathaniel Phillips Liverpool Jersey[/url] , or living, MSCs in any of it. Why?

Because by the time it sits around an OB ward and then a processing center and then it鈥檚 processed and then it鈥檚 cryopreserved and sold through the vendor and then it鈥檚 shock-thawed in a doctor鈥檚 office 鈥攖here are simply very few, if any, viable and functional MSCs left. This isn鈥檛 just a problem with cord blood stem cell products; we see this with vendors pushing amniotic 鈥渟tem cell鈥?products in general.

The upshot? So does cord blood have MSCs? Not only is it not a reliable source of MSCs [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Nathaniel-Clyne-Jersey/]Nathaniel Clyne Liverpool Jersey[/url] , but processed umbilical cord stem cells in general aren鈥檛 reliable sources of living stem cells.

In the world of stem cells, unfortunately, there鈥檚 an awful lot of make-believe. If a physician can鈥檛 reference reliable research as well as provide outcome data on their own patient treatments, the physician probably doesn鈥檛 truly understand the stem cell treatments he or she is providing. If you ask your physician [url=http://www.liverpoolfcpro.com/Kids-Naby-Keita-Jersey/]Naby Keita Liverpool Jersey[/url] , 鈥淒oes cord blood have mesenchymal stem cells?鈥?and the physician says yes, that鈥檚 a good indication the physician is listening to the vendor selling the cord blood, not the research. If you have ever traveled by air you would know that how tough it is to be in good state after the flight and that is especially if you have long haul flight you better be prepared for some harsh realities.

With that said, I would always vouch for the fact that it is better to be prepared than be sorry. There are a few things that you should keep in mind while traveling by air.

Airports nowadays are a mess with additional security measures and checks. So make sure that your reach the airport well in time and that means at least three hours before the international flight departure or at least two hours before if you are taking a domestic flight.

Then if you are carrying a laptop make sure that it is out of the carry on bag as it has to be separately scanned through the security camera. Also make sure that you have no knife or anything pointed in the carry on luggage.

Then comes the seat assignment nowadays all the airlines offer the online check in at least 24 hours before the flight. Take advantage of this facility as this will help you get the best of the best of the seats and you can have the journey in comfort. If you have an infant then make sure that you request for bulkhead seats in advance and also have the bassinet request put in. These are usually done on first come first served basis.
