Since regenerative medicine focuses on repairing the body and stem cells are the cells that every cell in the body stem from it only makes sense that doctors would use stem cells to repair damaged tissues, organs and systems. Today, new treatment using cord blood is focusing on regenerative medicine. Once unimagined, stem cells are paving the way for possible treatments to diseases that up until now have only been able to be treated or controlled not fully cured or reversed.

Regenerative medicine offers a cure vs. treatment to many debilitating diseases. In the last five years many stored cord blood banks have released a large number of units to use for patients with conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, leukemia, sickle cell anemia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, optic nerve hypoplasia(the leading cause of blindness in children) just to name a few.
