Do You Need to Be Matched When Using THIS Type of Stem Cells?

If you're using very young sources like the birth tissue, such as umbilical cord placenta, then you may not need to be matched because the cells are still in a very young state. Cells from the umbilical cord is actually younger than the cells from the baby, because when the embryo was forming, the stem cells that. Starting from early embryonic stem cells. Right. The little first cell, which became a cluster of cells, so those started to form an embryo. And in that process, it was forming the placenta and the umbilical cord. So it happened very early on, and when they were forming the cord, the cells were trapped there, and they retained a lot of the early characteristics, so they were kind of arrested in their youth. That's why, when we obtain cells from the umbilical cord, the surface markers really are not quite there.
