Since the first cord blood transplant 20-years
ago, cord blood stem cell treatments have come a long way. There are now
nearly 80-diseases which a cord blood transplant is the treatment, and cord
blood stem cells are emerging as a potential treatment for Type 1 diabetes and
cerebral palsy. There have been over 100-children treated in the last year
alone.
Chief Science
Officer, Maury Kraus says, “Cord blood, or umbilical cord blood, is the blood
remaining in your child's umbilical cord following birth. It is a rich,
non-controversial source of stem cells that can only be collected at the time
of birth. For most families, banking their baby's cord blood offers peace of
mind that should there be a need, their family’s stem cells are readily
available.”
