Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy

More than 10,000 babies are born every day across the United States. The cord that sustains them throughout their development contains blood and tissue that is laden with stem cells. Scientists can now readily and easily extract these stem cells from the cord blood, safely expand their numbers, wash away the factors that sustain them, and thus wind up with pure stem cells that do not provoke rejection or other adverse reactions in people who receive them therapeutically.
