Cord stem cells have been used to treat diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer. They have the same abilities as blood stem cells to heal the body but are less potent than blood stem cells, making them a better option. For example, in a recent study, scientists who used cord blood to treat cerebral palsy found that the stem cells, abundant in the umbilical cord, can enter the brain and replicate the cells they replaced. This led to a significant and lasting improvement in behavior and motor abilities in children. The natural tissue connected to the placenta of pregnant animals is called the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord is composed of two tissue types: the tissue of the umbilical cord and the fetal liver. In recent years, the cord has been used to treat various diseases with ease. These discoveries, coupled with the materials and technologies, have paved the way for further research into regenerative medicine. Moreover, umbilical cord stem cells can cure more than 80 d...
