The problem with cord blood as a source of stem cells is that not many cells can be harvested. Although enough cells are usually present to treat a pediatric patient, in cases of adults, expansion of stem cells from the cord blood is desirable.
The current patent provides a portable bioreactor for expansion of cord blod stem cells. Essentially, the invention is designed so as to be able to be set up in a variety of hospital settings that typically do not do cell therapy.
