Currently, cord blood is used to treat over 70 different blood diseases and bone marrow disorders. Hundreds of patients around the world benefit from cord blood transplants every year, but researchers are determined to increase these numbers.
In order to benefit a wider range of patients, researchers want to expand the uses of cord blood technology. Potential new uses include treating brain injuries, diabetes and even degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
There are several clinical trials taking place across North America that test the effectiveness in treating patients with cerebral palsy. The disease affects the motor skills and mental development in children, and researchers believe that cord blood could help to improve the symptoms of patients suffering from the disease.
Patients with Type I and Type II Diabetes can also take part in a wide range of clinical trials. In fact, Insception Lifebank is developing its own technology to help treat patients suffering from Type I Diabetes.
