Stem cells are valued as a potential source of a range of types of tissue. Many scientists say embryonic stem cells are generally more versatile than adult cells, although they continue to explore the possibilities of adult stem cells. We believe that, due to their close association with developing embryo and volume of cells recoverable, placental and umbilical stems cells are an ideal model system for conducting basic research on cell differentiation and regulation.

Although there is little doubt that stem cell transplantation will be a therapy of the future, Hemacell Perfusion seeks to supply researchers with essential materials to focus on the basic mechanisms of stem cell differentiation - how stem cells make the decision to move from their stem cell state into a more committed phenotype.
