  • Stem cells from a newborn\u2019s umbilical cord blood are FDA approved to treat over 80 diseases<\/strong>, helping regenerate the body after chemotherapy, radiation, and other aggressive medical procedures.<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    • While that\u2019s a compelling reason to bank cord blood, it is important to understand what these treatments are and how stem cells from your child\u2019s umbilical cord blood can help with recovery.<\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      • One of the first things to understand is the difference between treatments where your child uses their own cord blood (autologous) and treatments using your child\u2019s cord blood to treat other family members (allogeneic). There are many diseases that can be treated with autologous cord blood as shown in the table below.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
