[edit] POV
This page is not a commercial promotion site, and private industry PR script will not be tolerated. The links are only for commercial-free sites. This requires regular upkeep, as commercial interests are regularly infiltrating the page. KellyPhD (talk) 06:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)KellyPh.D 01:10, 22 April 2008
It should be noted, however, that the distinction between commercial and non-profit is not the same as private versus public banks as many of the "public" banks are for-profit enterprises. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbuckler (talk • contribs) 22:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cord blood cells and embryonic stem cells
Even in a link or reference, it is essential to distinguish the types of cells, the implications of the differences are substantial. Further, general discussion of pluripotent stem cells and potential therapies belongs in other wikipedia articles, not in hematopoietic stem cell articles. flux.books 12:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cord blood stem cells and blood stem cells
Similar care is due in discussing therapies that use or hope to use blood stem cells, or hope to use pluripotent cells harvested from the bloodstream, rather than cord blood. flux.books 12:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speculative therapies
As this is to be a presentation of facts, it is essential to note the speculative nature of certain therapies and disinguish what is currently proven and practiced from what is being investigated by scientists. Credible scientific sources should be cited. flux.books 12:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
