With the potential for self-renewal and differentiation, the possibilities for stem cells are enormous. One specific type of stem cell, the hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC), which is derived from umbilical cord blood, holds particular promise. This work also examines the use and utility of cord blood for stem cell transplants.
