CBR is the world's largest cord blood and cord tissue bank. Cord Blood is rich in Stem Cells that are unique to the newborn and family. Cryopreservation of the cells has been called a type of 'biological insurance' because the stem cells are then available for use in medical treatments involving cancers and blood and immune disorders. The stem cells are an exact match for the newborn and have a higher likelihood of use in siblings. Diseases treated include leukemia, lymphoma, aplastic anemia and more than 75 other conditions amenable to stem cell transplant. New directions with cord blood stem cells include regenerative medicine for cerebral palsy and hearing loss.
