Stem cells are the body’s master cellsStem cells are valuable in medical procedures because they have the ability to differentiate (change into other types of cells in the body), which holds significant promise for improving the treatment of some of the most common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease, just to name a few.

Cord blood is the most readily accessible source of stem cellsCord blood, which is found in the umbilical cord, is an easily accessible source of stem cells that is only available when a baby is born. The stem cells in the umbilical cord blood are genetically unique to your baby and family and may be used to treat various medical problems for your child, his or her siblings and other family members.

The potential medical uses of stem cellsIn addition to the encouraging list of current diseases being treated with stem cells, several medical research projects are showing encouraging results for new treatments.• Stem cells have been “triggered” to differentiate into neural cells, which could lead to treatments

for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.• Stem cells have proven their ability to turn into blood vessel cells, which could someday benefit

treatments for heart disease, allowing patients to essentially “grow their own bypass.”• Stem cells have been labeled an important biological resource and researchers are conducting

more and more studies to unlock the potential of stem cells in future applications for diseases like diabetes, heart and liver disease, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries, and stroke.

Americord Registry's possession of a New York State license for such collection does not indicate approval or endorsement of possible future uses or future suitability of cells derived from umbilical cord tissue.
