Diseases Treated with Stem Cells

Although not all diseases treated with stem cells have been treated specifically with cord blood stem cells, doctors have been using cord blood in lifesaving treatments since 1988. And recently, scientists have discovered some amazing new possibilities for treating diseases and injuries in the future.

Amazing Recovery Attributed to Cord Blood


Dallas Hextell "was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, but is now showing fewer signs of the disorder and marked improvement after an infusion of his own stem cells" — made possible by the preservation of his own cord blood with Cord Blood Registry.
