A composition in human cord and placental blood which comprises unrestricted somatic stem cells is described here which can be amplified in vitro to large quantities sufficient for medical applications as regenerative medicines. Initiation and maintenance as well as ex vivo expansion protocols of such stem cells from cord blood is described. Furthermore, it is shown the inventive use of the stem cells for preparing a medicament for treating vascular and cardiac or smooth muscle diseases, bone, hepatic diseases , pancreatic disease, in particular type I diabetes, or neural tissue disease, in particular Parkinson's disease, or hematologic disease. |
