CORD BLOOD
is a non-controversial source of stem cells and has the power to save the lives of people with many blood disorders—including leukemia and sickle cell anemia—but most umbilical cord blood is discarded. |
|
Up to 90% of those destined to die due to the shortage of matching, transplantable bone marrow could be saved by cord blood. |
