: CD34<sup>+</sup> cells were isolated from 24 fresh UCB units obtained in the Obstetrics Department of the University Hospital of Salamanca following standard procedures, after informed consent was obtained from the corresponding mothers. For the in vivo studies, 6-week-old nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice (NOD/SCID; NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/NcrCrl) were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Barcelona, Spain) and maintained in the Animal Care Facility of the University of Salamanca. All procedures followed the Spanish and European Union guidelines (RD 1201/05 and 86/609/CEE) and were approved by the Bioethics Committee of the University of Salamanca (reg. 201600007333).
