Stem cells biobanks for cell therapy. A reality in Mexico
Main Article Content
Keywords
Tissue banks, Stem cells, Mexico
Abstract
The storage and acquisition of human tissue samples have always been present in medicine for centuries; however, biobanks activity has only recently appeared as such. The aim of this review is to give a global perspective of the positioning of biobanks, particularly an overview of what happens in Mexico. One of the main challenges of our country is to establish concerted actions, in wich biobank networks will be developed and have the opportunity to share and create new science, and to build bridges to facilitate improved practices and standardization of biobanks.
