Glosario de Términos Genéticos
El Instituto Nacional de Investigación del Genoma Humano (NHGRI) ha creado el Glosario hablado de términos de genética para ayudar a las personas que no tienen conocimientos científicos a entender los términos y conceptos utilizados en la investigación en genética. Simplemente haga clic en el término que le interesa y se abrirá una página con amplia información, incluida la pronunciación del término, información de audio, imágenes y enlaces con términos relacionados. El glosario será un recurso de aprendizaje de genética siempre disponible y de uso sencillo para estudiantes, maestros y padres. Para más información, consulte la Guía del Glosario hablado.

The Steenblock Research Institute
Umbilical cord blood was first used for blood and immune system disorders about 18 years ago.  For the past several years, new possibilities for their use in a wider variety of health conditions, genetic disorders and anti-aging treatments have been gaining support with various multipotent stem cells and progenitor cells being discovered in the cord blood. In fact, embryonic-like stem cells have actually been found in umbilical cord blood and are being used in clinical research now for various neurological disorders outside the United States. Dr. Colin McGuckin and associates from the U.K. have published preliminary findings on these embryonic-like stem cells. Their article is available here.
