Perinatal stem cells, including those derived from umbilical cord blood and tissue, amniotic fluid, amniotic membrane, and placenta, exhibit pluripotency and the ability to differentiate into various cell types. These stem cells have attracted significant attention due to their accessibility, non-invasive collection processes, and reduced immunogenicity compared to other stem cell sources. Their unique properties make them promising candidates for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and cell-based therapies.As research advances, new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the characteristics and therapeutic potential of perinatal stem cells continue to emerge. These advancements pave the way for innovative applications in diverse medical fields, including oncology, neurology, and regenerative medicine.This Research Topic aims to present an extensive compilation of cutting-edge research and perspectives on the properties and applications of perinatal stem cells.Areas of interest may include, but are not limited to:o Intrinsic properties of perinatal stem cells, including their pluripotency, self-renewal capabilities, and molecular pathways that regulate their differentiation and maintenance.o Comparative studies across different perinatal stem cell sources, such as umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, and placental tissue, focusing on their biological properties and potential clinical applications.o Protocols, safety, efficacy, and outcomes of stem cell transplantation for various conditions, including hematological disorders, immune deficiencies, metabolic diseases, and congenital disorders.o Therapeutic potential in tissue repair and regeneration, with emphasis on treatments for neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal injuries.o Development of novel techniques for isolating, expanding, and differentiating perinatal stem cells, as well as advancements in genetic engineering, biomaterials, and scaffold design to enhance their therapeutic efficacy.
