So much research is going on with stem cells from cord blood as scientists work to unlock the secrets of stem cells.  Much of the research centers on the anti-inflammatory properties of stem cells from umbilical cord blood.

Medical research into stem cells is ongoing, offering the potential to treat diseases or injuries that have traditionally been difficult to manage. Clinical trials exploring the potential for umbilical cord blood as a treatment include:

Some of the many intriguing studies hope to find cures for many disorders that effect children and adults include: 

Repairing Brain Functions

Progress is being made in understanding how stem cells from umbilical cord blood can improve the lives of children suffering with Cerebral Palsy and Autism.

Stem Cells and Cerebral Palsy

In fact, a recently published study by researchers at Duke University of children with spastic cerebral palsy found that an infusion of their own cord blood improved both their brain connectivity and motor function.

Stem Cells and Autism

Research into treating Autism with stem cells from cord blood has shown potential for improving socialization.  Based on these promising results, research continues to decipher the connections.

Keeping Memories Alive

Researchers are also exploring stem cells from umbilical cord blood as a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.  Exploratory studies in mice have shown that stem cells from umbilical cord blood reduce behavioral impairments associated with Alzheimer’s disease.  These initial findings have justified further exploration of how stem cells from umbilical cord blood could play a role in a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
