Cord Blood Industry Consolidation Escalates in 2026

June 18, 2026 By Cade Hildreth, Founder & President 2 Comments

The global cord blood industry experienced strong growth from the early 1990’s through the late 2000’s, during which time more than 450 cord blood banking companies emerged worldwide. Approximately half of those companies owned their own labs, while the others were marketing entities or sub-contractors of storage space.

Starting about ten years ago, the market suddenly changed course. It entered a period of aggressive consolidation, cutting the global number of cord blood banks by approximately half.

Over the past decade, the cord blood industry has witnessed substantial consolidation, particularly within the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. [Read more…]

Do You Know The 5 Types Of Stem Cells?

March 1, 2026 By Cade Hildreth, Founder & President 5 Comments

As you start to learn about stem cells, one of the most common questions to have is, “What types of stem cells exist?” There is not an agreed-upon number of stem cell types, because one can classify stem cells either by differentiation potential (what they can turn into) or by origin (from where they are sourced).

This post is dedicated to explaining the five types of stem cells, based on differentiation potential. Understanding these categories is key to grasping how stem cells are used in research, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic applications across the body.

By the end of this article, you’ll be able to distinguish which stem cell types hold the greatest promise for tissue repair, disease modeling, and next-generation medical breakthroughs.
