Cord Blood Harvesting and Banking Stem Cells Cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after a baby is born. It is rich in stem cells, which can help to cure many life threatening diseases. The stem cells found in cord blood restore the function of the patient’s immune and blood producing systems. It is an alternative to using bone marrow, with the advantage of being immediately available when required. Following the birth of a baby, the placenta and umbilical cord are usually thrown away along with these life saving stem cells. Cord blood is rich in stem cells and can be used to treat patients who are suffering from life threatening diseases, including: --Malignancies - a cancer of the blood, e.g. Leukaemia, lymphoma --Bone marrow failure - when bone marrow doesn't produce the cells it should --Haemoglobinopathies - a blood disorder e.g. Sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia --Immunodeficiencies - when the immune system doesn't work properly --Metabolic disorders - which affect the breakdown of waste products in the body. Thanks to scientific research in this field, scientists are constantly discovering more and more diseases and conditions that can be successfully treated with stem cells found in cord blood.
