How much do you know about the potential of your baby's cord blood stem cells? 

Did you know that the stem cells found in umbilical cord blood have been used for decades to treat a variety of blood disorders, immune diseases and cancers, and that they are now under investigation to regenerate and repair damaged cells outside of the blood and immune system?  They may one day help grow new organs and even restore hearing in a deaf child.

Cord Blood Registry's Vice President of Scientific and Medical Affairs, Heather Brown, was recently interviewed by Questional, a website featuring experts and public figures in technology and science. In the interview, Heather explained that "Cord blood stem cells really are so versatile that anything is possible. It's really an incredibly fast-moving science."

You can read Heather's full interview with Questional for more details of how cord blood stem cells may be lifesaving to your baby and entire family.
