July is National Cord Blood Awareness Month. It is a time during which the importance of cord blood and tissue stem cells is celebrated. Importantly, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from cord blood can now be used to treat more than 80 diseases and conditions. Mesenchymal stem cells present in cord tissue are also being explored in a wide range of clinical trials.
