What are Cord Blood Stem Cells?
Cord blood stem cells are found in the blood of newborns in the umbilical cord and placenta.
Cord blood, like bone marrow, is a rich source of stem cells, which can be used in medical treatments.
Stem cells are considered very unique and powerful as they can regenerate and turn into the cells that form all other tissues, organs, and systems in the body.
Stem cells are being used in many different treatments as transplants to provide regeneration and repair damage of other treatments.
