What is cable blood?

cord blood is the blood contained in the umbilical cord and placenta after birth. It is a popular substance because it is rich in stem cells, a very basic building block of the body. They can be used to treat certain diseases because they have the potential to turn into other cell types. Although these experiments continue, umbilical cord blood is highly valuable because other stem cell sources such as frozen embryos are still controversial.

For example, umbilical blood is commonly used in patients with leukemia. Treatment of umbilical cord blood is less invasive for and recipient. The recipient's body is also less likely to reject umbilical cord than bone marrow, because stem cells in the cervical blood in the umbilical blood have not formed natural resistance to foreign substances.
