Stem cells are powerful because they have the ability to create and regenerate the organs, blood, tissue and the immune system that make up our bodies. They have the function of growth and healing throughout life.

Stem cells can be found in places like bone marrow and fat tissue, but the younger, more flexible stem cells in the body come from a newborn’s umbilical cord blood and tissue. As an important source of such potent stem cells, umbilical cord blood may be stored for potential future use.Even after 30 years there has been found that there is no deterioration in the quality of stored cord blood samples.
