What are cord stem cells?

0

Cord stem cells are a type of blood stem cell that can be isolated in significant numbers from the placenta and umbilical cord of a newborn baby. Cord stem cells have been successfully collected and stored as frozen cells, and then some years later used as a source of the baby’s own blood stem cells for transplantation.

Cord blood-derived stem cells are a new source of blood cell-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells with the potential for many medical treatments. These stem cells are collected after delivery from umbilical cords and placentas of full-term, normal babies.
