With so much advancements happening in the stem-cell science and the indications expanding so fast, the techniques
for its storage also equally developed, and it is now possible
to store them for up to 20 years at −140°C. With the realization that umbilical cord is one of the best sources of stem cells, the cord blood banking is now becoming a standard in most parts of the world, not only to meet unexpected
adversities of the child, but also to donate for the needy
people and help the cause of stem-cell research. If we progress
the way we are now, it is possible to give some permanent
solutions for the so-called ‘nothing much to do’ health conditions like storage disorders, neurodegenerative disorders,
and cardiomyopathies. The ‘hope is real’ and will be.
