How Stem Cells Work

As a parent, you naturally want to protect your child but you can’t always guard against the future. However, if you choose cord blood stem cell storage, you might be buying into the best insurance policy for your child’s future health.

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?

Inside your baby’s umbilical cord there are millions of tiny cells, called stem cells. There are two types, Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
