After a baby is born, cord blood is left in the umbilical cord and placenta. It is relatively easy to collect, with no risk to the mother or baby. It contains [b][u]haematopoietic (blood) stem cells:[/u][/b] rare cells normally found in the bone marrow. They can be considered adult, or more specialized, stem cells and cannot currently become other cells in the body. The common use for these stem cells are leukemia and blood disorders.
