Cord Blood
Because cord blood present within a newborn’s umbilical is rich with stem cells, it can be collected and stored for future medical use.
Cord Blood and Tissue Banking: 14 Terms to Define
Since the first stem cell transplant occurred more than 65 years ago (1957), there has been a nearly exponential increase in stem cell transplants, and in late 2012, the millionth stem cell transplant occurred, a landmark event in stem cell medicine. It is clear that the stem cells contained within cord blood banking now have the potential to improve and save lives. Since the first cord blood transplant was performed in 1988, stem cells derived from umbilical blood have been used in more than 40,000 transplants worldwide. [Read more…]
