Abstract
The building of human embryonic stem cell lines and germ cell lines was called the world top ten scientific and technological achievements in the 20th century by the Times of America. As one part of it, the application of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) and umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (UCB-HSC) has a great application prospect. UC-MSC and UCB-HSC have self-renewal, differentiation ability and produce more or single specific cell function of cells, located in the top of the cell development spectrum. This article will analyze the source, biological characteristics and clinical application of UC-MSC and UCB-HSC. Key words: Mesenchymal stem cell; Hematopoietic stem cell; Therapeutic uses
