Cord blood banking is a procedure of collecting and storing life-saving stem cells from the umbilical cord and placenta for future use. It uses hematopoietic stem cells that are present in the cord blood of the baby to develop it into red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets. It aids in the treatment of cancer, blood diseases and immune system disorders as cord blood banking is less complicated, painful and risky for the donor compared to the collection of stem cells from bone marrow. As a result, it finds extensive applications in hospitals, research institutes, and specialty clinics.
