Scientific research shows, that germinal cells from umbilical cord blood are able to transform to different cell types – bone cells, brain cells, heart cells, insulin producing cells and more. However, in clinical practice, only the haematopoietic cells - germinal cells from umbilical cord blood are currently being used. These can be found in the bone marrow of children and adults, and during the whole life they multiply and give rise to blood cells (red blood cells for carrying the oxygen throughout the body; white blood cells for fighting against infectious agents; and platelets for clotting).
