Human umbilical cord tissue cryopreservation: prospects for clinical application
The paper analyzes the data available in the modern scientific literature on the possibility of human umbilical cord tissue cryopreservation and its further clinical application. It describes protocols to obtain various biomedical products (vascular matrix, Wharton jelly-based grafts, and multipotent stromal cells) from the frozen umbilical cord, as well as prospects of their clinical use. The analysis of the literature data may be indicative of the active development of a promising cell biotechnology area, such as human umbilical cord cryopreservation.Strokova S.O., Arutyunyan I.V., Mullabaeva S.M., Fatkhudinov T.Kh.
