Current data reflects that cord blood cells that have been stored for fifteen years have the same composition as they did at the time of storage. All science involving cryogenic storage of cells also indicates that the cells should remain viable indefinitely. Reference: Pasquini MC, Logan BR, Verter F, Horowitz MM, Nietfeld JJ.
