Where is the future heading with cord blood?
In the past two years alone, research has demonstrated that cord blood stem cells can differentiate into other types of cells in the body. The regenerative qualities of stem cells have been brought to the forefront in the field of cellular repair. Researchers are conducting more and more studies to unlock the potential of umbilical cord blood stem cells in future applications for diseases like diabetes, heart and liver disease, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, brain and spinal cord injury, and stroke.
