Other sources include the peripheral blood drawn from donors who underwent pharmacological mobilisation.<\/p>\n<p>Each living organism, through the course of its life, systematically produces new cells which subsequently mature and differentiate into more specialised cells. Eventually, these cells perish after a specific period of time, as inscribed in their genetic code. Specific stem cells are cells which directly replace dead cells with new ones. All stem cells, even if transiently present in the body, can be subdivided into the four categories: totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent and unipotent. Multipotent type of cells include haematopoietic stem cells and human umbilical cord blood is a good source of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"section-with-heading-and-text section-margin section-margin--small\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n    <h3   class=\"  text-blue break-words \">\n\n            Umbilical cord blood &#8211; collection and<br \/> storage\n\n    <\/h3>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-24 xl:mt-40 xl:ml-100 space-y-24  \"><p>Cord blood is blood that stays in the umbilical cord and placenta after birth and after the child&#8217;s abnegation. It is a valuable source of stem cells. Until recently it was treated as &#8220;waste&#8221; and recycled together with the placenta and umbilical cord. Currently, it is taken to isolate stem cells for storage and subsequent use in therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Stem cells from umbilical cord blood, like those from the bone marrow, can be transplanted to rebuild the hematopoietic and immune systems, and show greater efficacy than stem cells obtained from adult donors. They can be used both for autologous transplants (then the donor is the recipient of the collected cells) and allogeneic (the recipient gets the cells from another person, e.g. family transplants).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"section-with-heading-and-text section-margin section-margin--small\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n    <h3   class=\"  text-blue break-words \">\n\n            Collecting umbilical cord blood\n\n    <\/h3>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-24 xl:mt-40 xl:ml-100 space-y-24  \"><p>Collecting umbilical cord blood is a simple activity.
