Athletes and Umbilical Cord Blood Storage

According to an article about Virgin Health Bank, those with worries regarding leukemia and other similar ailments aren't the only people opting to bank their children's umbilical cord blood. Apparently, professional athletes are also utilizing banking services, hoping that the stem cells of their offspring may later be capable of playing a role in repairing injured body parts.

According to the story, which appears here:

"Stem cells are those potent primal cells that scientists say may someday be used to regenerate damaged organs and nerves, holding the cure for diseases from Parkinson's disease to diabetes. Athletes are even storing their newborn's cord blood cells in the hopes they can be used to regrow their own injured cartilage and ligaments."
