Cord Blood Stem Cell Research
When delivering a baby, it is usually found placenta and the cord blood. Usually it is discarded but now some parents think about transfering the umbilical cord blood into bank of blood in order to be used for treating such genetic disorders in the future. In
cord blood stem cell research, it is found that cord blood has the same function as bone marrow in giving variety of medical treatments for patients. The stem cell itself plays an important role to the tissue as it grows to be the building blocks for such organ tissue, blood and
immune system.
Based on the
cord blood stem cell research, cord blood stem cell can be used for treating any genetic, blood and immune disorders, such as cancer or juvenile diabetes. For the cancer, after doing the chemotherapy, usually the patients will be weak so they need to have regeneration of the blood and also the immune system. That is why then the patients are transplanted with bone marrow or cord blood transplant.
Considering its effectiveness, there are now more cord blood transplantation than bone marrow transplantation.
Cord blood stem cell research proves that it is more advantageous to transplant cord blood than bone marrow. Bone marrow seems to be complicated and hard to do and there are less donors for bone marrow compare to cord blood. Cord blood can be easily found at the time of baby delivery. Moreover, there is less risky complication for cord blood transplantation. Cord blood which is transfered to the blood bank
have to be tested and frozen for future use. This is done in order to make the cord blood safe from the damage environment. In addition collection for cord blood is very simple, safe and painless because it can be taken immediately after birth and may take around five minutes.
