Why bank stem cells from both the placenta and the cord blood?
The Stem Cell Connection will locate you a company that collects and stores stem cells from two sources that help sustain your baby’s life during pregnancy -the placenta and the cord blood. It’s called Placenta-Cord banking. Placenta-Cord Banking can provide you with the most stem cells possible by collecting not only the cord blood, but also a second unit of stem cells from the placenta. Stem cells from the placenta are derived from a safe and almost unlimited source. Research has shown that treating debilitating and life-threatening diseases with more stem cells significantly improves treatment success and patient survival. By banking stem cells from both the placenta and the cord blood, you are substantially increasing the number of stem cells banked.
