Top: Science: Biology: Cryobiology: Umbilical_Cord_Stem_Cell_Storage

Cryopreservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells, harvested at the birth of a child. This provides an exact match for children in the event they need a bone marrow transplant as a part of a treatment for diseases like leukemia. Recent research has shown that other family members needing bone marrow transplants may also benefit from stored cord blood stem cells.
