The University of Colorado Cord Blood Bank (UCCBB),
The University of Colorado Cord Blood Bank (UCCBB), a major component of ClinImmune Labs, has a twelve year history of collecting, processing, banking and distributing cord blood for human transplantation. UCCBB is a public cord blood bank, which has consented 10,700 women and banked 6,700 cord blood units, of which 460 have been transplanted at 100 different transplant centers in the United States and abroad.
Cord blood, Umbilical cord blood is up to 180mL of blood from a newborn baby that is returned to the neonatal circulation if the umbilical cord is not prematurely clamped.[dubious – discuss] In some obstetric and midwifery practices, physiological extended-delayed cord clamping protocol, as well as water birth, allows for the cord blood to pulse into the neonate for 5–20 minutes after delivery. If the umbilical cord is not clamped, a physiological clamping occurs upon interaction with cold air, when the internal gelatinous substance, called Wharton's jelly, swells around the umbilical artery and veins.
Welcome to the Stem Cell Institute, Researchers at the University of Minnesota Stem Cell Institute seek the treatments that will make a difference in quality of life for patients suffering from such diseases as Parkinson's, diabetes, heart disease, muscular dystrophy, and more.
Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative, Long recognised for its strengths in the field of stem cell research. The University of Cambridge has created the Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative.
The Initiative is the primary conduit for engagement between basic and clinical scientists aimed at biomedical translation of stem cell and regenerative medicine research.

Stanford School of MedicineStanford has been a leader in stem cell research for the past quarter century. In 2001, Stanford University School of Medicine unveiled a plan to create five new translational institutes of medicine, one of which is the Stanford Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine Institute. The institute was established in 2003 to build on Stanford’s leadership in stem cell science and to set the foundations for the creation of a new field of science: regenerative medicine. Under the direction of renowned stem cell researcher Dr. Irving Weissman, the institute is devoted to exploring the how stem cells are created, the mechanisms by which they are regulated and how they devolve into specialized cells. The ultimate goal is to translate this knowledge into dramatic new medical therapies for some of the world’s most serious and intractable afflictions. Finally, as part of Stanford School of Medicine, the institute is dedicated to training the next generation of stem cell researchers.
