STEM CELL BANKING



STEM CELL BANKING

Stem cell banking is a term used to describe the collection and storage of stem cells, typically from umbilical cord blood or tissue, as a medical resource for future use. The process stands as one of the great resources for probable treatments and therapies because it is always possible to develop into all forms of body cells. Stored stem cells may serve treatment for a great number of conditions and disorders, including certain cancers, blood diseases, and genetic disorders. Collections are typically done shortly after birth, with cells being processed and frozen for long-term storage. The purpose of stem cell banking is to enable families to have a proactive perspective to safeguard the future health and advance treatment options for potential medical needs among family members.
