  1. Benefits of Stem Cells

  2. What is Stem Cells ? Stem cells are cells that can differentiate into other types of cells, and can also divide in self-renewal to produce more of the same type of stem cells.

  3. A guaranteed match for autologous transplants (where the donor and recipient are the same individual). may need a hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) transplant by the age of 70. • A Readily Available Supply of Stored Haematopoietic Stem Cells. • Lower risk of Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD) for autologous transplants. • Ease of collection, which is pain-free and risk-free to both mother and child. • Umbilical cord blood stem cells are younger and more primitive. • 1 in 217 chances of using stem cells for treatment in a lifetime Benefits of Saving Stem Cells
