United Kingdom
A cord blood stem cell transplant uses blood stem cells to replace diseased cells with healthy new cells, and rebuild an individual's blood and immune system. More recently, cord blood stem cells have been shown to be able to form other tissues in the body such as nerves, bone cells and hormone producing cells. This means that cord blood also has a major role to play in the field of regenerative medicine.
