Have you ever noticed those cute, colourful building blocks children play with? Each of the blocks supports the other in forming a structure that eventually gets bigger and stronger, even as new blocks get added to them. Fascinating, isn’t it? But what if we told you that our body too had similar building blocks. Yes, it’s true. And these building blocks are called stem cells. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability to regenerate or form into new, specialised cells like blood cells, brain cells, lung cells, etc. But did you know that the umbilical cord, which is often discarded after birth, is a rich source of stem cells, and it plays a huge role when it comes to benefits of stem cell preservation? As stem cell therapy continues to break new grounds in the world of regenerative medicine, it’s important more than ever to harness their power. And what better source to turn to than umbilical cord! In this blog, we’ll discuss the benefits of stem cell preservation at birth while also throwing some light on how it’s done. So, let’s get started:
