What diseases can umbilical cord blood treat?

Cord blood is rich in hematopoietic stem cells, which possess strong regenerative and differentiation capabilities. It is primarily used to treat the following diseases:

1. Hematologic disorders: such as acute leukemia, aplastic anemia, and thalassemia. The hematopoietic stem cells in cord blood can replace the patient's damaged hematopoietic cells and restore normal blood cell production.

2. Immune system disorders: such as lymphoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Cord blood transplantation can rebuild the patient's immune system, enhance immune function, and thereby alleviate the condition.

3. Genetic metabolic disorders and congenital diseases: The stem cells in cord blood are also used to treat certain genetic metabolic disorders and congenital conditions, which are often associated with abnormalities in genes or metabolic pathways. Stem cell transplantation may achieve therapeutic or palliative effects.
