Diseases Treated by Cord Blood
Cord blood stem cells are currently used to treat a number of different diseases. In addition, new cord blood transplant treatments are being discovered all the time. The research is going on worldwide; therefore, the field is always expanding. Cord blood banking is becoming increasingly important for the protection of your family. Below is a list of some of the diseases where cord blood stem cells may be used for treatment:
