between family members.<br \/>\nAn additional advantage of cord blood is its immediate availability.<br \/>\nStem cells from cord blood when the need for their use in treatment arises are waiting in the bank, because they are collected and stored earlier than the need for their use arises .<br \/>\nAnother advantage is that they are less likely to cause Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) reaction,

years, studies have shown that cord blood stem cells can transform into cells of other types, such as muscle or nerve cells.<br \/>\nThe regenerative properties of stem cells are currently the

according to their previous &#8220;programming&#8221; and recognize cells of the recipient&#8217;s body as foreign.<br \/>\nThe destruction of recipient cells by donor lymphocytes occurs.<br

organs.<br \/>\nAs a result, the symptoms of this disease are the result of epithelial damage (rashes, hives, dry and scaly skin and epithelia, for example, of the gastrointestinal tract = diarrhea).<br \/>\nIt is a severe and difficult to treat disease.<br \/>\nAfter cord blood transplants, these reactions are much less severe because the stem cells present in cord blood are
