Science and Research

Scientific understanding of stem cells continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Research has already demonstrated that cord blood stem cells can differentiate into other types of cells in the body. This discovery holds exciting possibilities for a field of research known as regenerative medicine, which involves using stem cells to rebuild damaged organs or create living tissue.

Today, stem cells are regarded as an important biological resource, and researchers are conducting numerous studies to unlock their potential. Research to date suggests that cord blood stem cells may have potential use in treating diseases like diabetes, heart and liver disease, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, and stroke.

Researchers are also examining the possibility of stem cell expansion, which may someday enable families who have banked stem cells to use them for multiple treatments or donate stem cells to others.

CBR Research & Innovation

For more than 15 years, Cord Blood Registry has been a pioneer in furthering the advancement of cord blood stem cells science and technology.

Banking cord blood does not guarantee that the cells will provide a cure or be applicable for every situation. For inherited genetic conditions, the child will not be able to use his or her own stem cells. A matched sibling's stem cells would be the first choice. Ultimate use will be determined by the treating physician. Treatment for brain injury and juvenile diabetes is experimental and currently requires the use of your own cord blood. Medical treatments using family banked cord tissue are in early research and are not available today; there is no guarantee that therapies will be developed in the future.
