What is cord blood banking used for?
Cord blood includes stem cells that have the ability to save a person’s life. Cord blood from your kid helps those who require stem cell transplants.
When stem cells are implanted into those people, they assist in the formation of new, healthy cells. People benefit from stem cell transplantation in the following ways:
- Leukaemia and lymphoma are examples of cancers.
- Bone marrow illnesses that necessitate a transplant.
- Anemia, such as sickle cell disease.
- Certain immune system conditions.
Cord blood is being studied by researchers to see if it may be used to treat other life-threatening illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease and diabetes.
