The banking cord blood is a beneficial procedure that offers a treatment option for over 70
diseases. Currently, researchers are working hard to find new uses for stem cells from cord blood,
expand its potential and provide treatment for a wide range of diseases.
At present, researchers are looking for ways to use the cells from cord blood stem to treat neurological
disorders such as cerebral palsy and autism. Several clinical trials using cord blood to treat cerebral palsy are currently underway, and the FDA recently approved a cord blood test for children
with autism. If the cells cord blood stem prove effective in treating these disorders, millions of
individual could benefit.
Another potential use for cell cord blood stem is for the growth of new organs. Across North
America, thousands of patients die each year waiting for organ transplants - and doctors hope
change that by using stem cells to grow organs . The doctors managed to create living cells and began to grow heart valves using stem cells; hence the continuation is very promising.
