A cord blood and tissue bank is a facility that collects, processes, and stores stem cells from a newborn’s umbilical cord blood and tissue for potential future use in medical treatments. These banks preserve the stem cells for therapies such as transplants for blood cancers or genetic disorders and may also store tissue for regenerative medicine applications​
