From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There seem to be many edits that veer off the topic. This article is about cord blood banking.
[edit] Cord blood cells and embryonic stem cells
Even in a link or reference, it is essential to distinguish the types of cells, the implications of the differences are substantial. Further, general discussion of pluripotent stem cells and potential therapies belongs in other wikipedia articles, not in hematopoietic stem cell articles. flux.books 12:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cord blood stem cells and blood stem cells
Similar care is due in discussing therapies that use or hope to use blood stem cells, or hope to use pluripotent cells harvested from the bloodstream, rather than cord blood. flux.books 12:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speculative therapies
As this is to be a presentation of facts, it is essential to note the speculative nature of certain therapies and disinguish what is currently proven and practiced from what is being investigated by scientists. Credible scientific sources should be cited. flux.books 12:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
