The uses for stem cells in different treatment therapies are increasing every day. In addition to the already documented present uses for stem cells, researchers are anticipating their use in treatments for such wide-ranging diseases and conditions as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and muscular dystrophy. As the causes of more diseases are discovered, it is projected by researchers that the uses for cord blood stem cell transplantation will undoubtedly increase.

Diseases Treated by Stem Cell Transplantation:

Acute Leukemias - Chronic Leukemias - Myelodysplastic Syndromes - Stem Cell Disorders - Myeloproliferative Disorders - Lymphoproliferative Disorders - Phagocyte Disorders - Inherited Metabolic Disorders - Histiocytic Disorders - Inherited Erythrocyte Abnormalities - Inherited Immune System Disorders - Other Inherited Disorders - Inherited Platelet Abnormalities - Plasma Cell Disorders - Other Malignancies - Areas of Future Research.
