Physician Perspectives

"Cord blood banking is the most important investment you can make for your entire family. There are many potential applications for regenerative medicine such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, brain injury, and neurological injury. And as we develop ways to expand the number of cord blood cells, the potential transplant uses for older children and adults will continue to grow."
