Is there a potential for tumors using adult stem cells or umbilical cord blood?
Yes, there is a potential that any donor cell source might contain tumor cells or cells with unregulated growth. Furthermore, it is known that as cell populations get older they are more prone to have mutated cells in the group. Much more scientific work and well-designed comparative studies are needed to answer this question. All therapies have risk-benefit ratios, and many suffering people might have longer lives and higher quality of life with treatment. If we understood all the regulatory mechanisms that define cell growth and regulation and could harness them for optimal use, then the potential benefits are staggering. BACK Cant find it?
