The uses of umbilical cord stem cells are rapidly increasing. A few decades ago, cord blood could treat about 40 conditions but today, that number is now over 80. These therapies predominantly use matched donor stem cells, such as those from a sibling, however perhaps the most exciting developments are in the field of regenerative medicine. Today, clinical trials are investigating new stem cell therapies for diseases and disorders like diabetes, autism and stroke, and much more. You can keep up to date with the latest developments in regenerative medicine on our stem cell blog.
