Cutting Umbilical Cord Early Eliminates Stem Cells 139

GeneralSoh writes "Delaying clamping the umbilical cord at birth may have far-reaching benefits for your baby, according to researchers at the University of South Florida's Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair — and should be delayed for at least a few minutes longer after birth. This new recommendation published in the most recent Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (14:3) notes that delaying clamping the umbilical cord allows more umbilical cord blood and crucial stem cells to transfer from mama to baby."

Steve Chen left Cray Research in 1987 to start Supercomputer Systems Inc. which was funded by IBM. Actually the Cray T3D team was led by yours truly -- a different Steve (yes, I'm still out there somewhere). The project also had hardware design leadership from Steve Oberlin and software design leadership from Steve Reinhardt. That makes at least three other Steves besides the one who was not involved.
A couple of technically oriented videos were made by these folks describing the system. (http://www.bibl.ita.cta.br/video105.html and http://www.bibl.ita.cta.br/video104.html)
These were available as streaming video for a while but may have been retired by now.......in any case some copies do remain shelved at few campus sites.
