From the umbilical cord, a population of multipotent stem cells can be isolated that have embryonic (they express the OCT-4 and Nanog transcription factors) and hematopoietic (they express the CD45 leukocyte marker) characteristics. These adult stem cells can differentiate into blood and immune system cells.
Stem cells from the umbilical cord are relatively easy to obtain and have low immunogenicity, due to the low expression of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which is why they have begun to be used in therapies to cure various diseases:
Osteoarthritis
OSTEO-ARTICULAR DISEASES AND NEUROPATHIC PAIN
Tendinopathy
Intervertebral disc degeneration
HEART DISEASE
Myocardial infarction
Ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
LIVER DISEASES
Cirrhosis
LUNG DISEASES
Pulmonary Fibrosis
INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Ulcerative colitis
DIABETES
Insulin dependent type
CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE
Average
AUTO-IMMUNE AND ALLERGIC DISEASES
Ankylosing spondylitis
Systemic lupus erythematosus

PERINATAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS.
- Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
- Cerebral palsy
- Autism
Cerebrovascular accident.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TRAUMA
- Cranioencephalic trauma
- Spinal Trauma
In addition, they have numerous advantages: they can be stored for about 15 years, they can be converted into any type of cell, they are more accepted in relatives than marrow cells In other words, they are virus-free and easily obtained without causing ethical dilemmas. and the amount of cells obtained is greater than that of the marrow.
Stem cells could have a multitude of clinical uses and could be used in regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, and gene therapy.
Stem cells are found in all multicellular organisms and have the ability to divide (via mitosis) and differentiate into various specialized cell types, as well as self-renew to produce more stem cells. There are several types of stem cells that can be classified based on their cellular potency, that is, the number of different cell types into which they can differentiate. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells are involved in the regeneration or repair of body tissues.
Stem cells are distributed throughout all the tissues of the body and accompany us throughout life, although as we age or get sick they lose vitality. They exhibit unique characteristics, which give them their immense therapeutic potential. In the first place, they can multiply indefinitely, maintaining their status as stem cells; secondly, under suitable stimuli they can differentiate into mature cells of different organs (for example, into cells of the brain, heart, liver, etc.); third, they can be distributed throughout the body
1. They differentiate into the corresponding cells of the diseased organ and thus replace the damaged or dead native cells.
2. Once they reach the diseased organ, they can release into the environment up to hundreds of molecules with the necessary biological activity to correct the damage (for example, inflammation, oxidation, cell death).
3. Through direct cell-cell communication, they cause other cells present to modify their harmful behavior (for example, turning pro-inflammatory white blood cells into anti-inflammatory ones).
- Ability to renew themselves
- Differentiate into undifferentiated, self-renewing cells.
- Repair damage caused by disease, trauma or age deterioration.
- safe therapy.
- Fast treatment and recovery.
- Treatment of chronic degenerative and orphan diseases.
- Ethically responsible treatment.
- Stem cells provide versatility.
- Healthier treatment.

- Autoimmune diseases such as lupus.
- Hematological diseases such as sickle cell anemia.
- Diabetes.
