How are cord blood stem cells used in treatment of diseases?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Still evolving: Cord blood stem cells are generally used in lieu of bone marrow for blood disorders requiring bone marrow transplant. It is hoped that these cells may be used to create other organs.

SC and disease: Other than the fine answer given by dr. Singh, any other use would be strictly experimental and not available for current patient use (in most cases).
