Stem Cell & Cord Blood Banking
You or a loved one may one day be affected by a disease or illness stem cells can treat. You can choose to store umbilical cord blood or tissue stem cells – or ideally, both, as each contains different stem cells that can be used to treat different conditions.
Smart Cells collect and store stem cells found in umbilical cord blood and tissue so they can be used for treatment later.
As the body’s building blocks, the possibilities for using stem cells are endless. These potent cells are unique because they have the ability to repair, replace, and regenerate cells of almost any kind.
