Stem cells banking involves collecting umbilical cord blood, which contains stem cells. Stem cells can be used for stem cell therapy, which is a self-healing therapy that uses the patient’s own cells to heal another injured area. The stem cells grow to become the type of cells the body needs in that area. These stem cells can be banked for future medical use at a stem cell bank. A stem cell bank is a facility that stores stem cells, which are derived from amniotic fluid, and are stored to be used in the future by the person who banked them.
These cells have medical properties that can save a life, therefore banking stem cells for later use can be medically beneficial. Stem cells are cells that are unspecialized and can produce an indefinite number of new cells. These cells serve as an internal repair system, dividing and multiplying to replenish dying cells. When the cells divide, they can either remain a stem cell or become a cell with a specialized function that is needed in an injured area of the body. However there are always two sides to consider, for example, stem cell banking is generally on the higher end in terms of cost. Also you may never even need these banked cells, which means you spent the money and got no return. It is always important to consider both sides when trying to determine a course of action.
