Unrelated cord blood (CB) units, already manufactured, fully tested and stored, are high-quality products for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cell therapies, as well as an optimal starting material for cell expansion, cell engineering or cell re-programming technologies. CB banks have been pioneers in the development and implementation of Current Good Manufacturing Practices for cell-therapy products. Sharing their technological and regulatory experience will help advance all cell therapies, CB-derived or not, particularly as they transition from autologous, individually manufactured products to stored, ‘off-the shelf’ treatments. Such strategies will allow broader patient access and wide product utilisation.
