This session will focus on the expanding role of umbilical CB in regenerative medicine, highlighting its potential beyond hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Experts will discuss cutting-edge research, clinical applications, and future directions for using cord blood-derived cells in treating a wide range of diseases.

Learning Objectives:

Review current and emerging clinical applications
Explore mechanisms of tissue repair and regeneration
Discuss challenges and opportunities in translational research: Utilizing different cell populations for numerous indications and novel strategies engineering CB cells with the goal of advancing cord blood-based regenerative therapies to clinical practice.
