English: Cord blood allows to increase the possibility of treating many diseases, which nowadays it is possible to treat only with the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells, those contained in the cord blood. There are many diseases that can be cured with these cells, some very serious, such as leukemia and tumors of the lymphatic system; but at the same time, even those affected by non-tumor diseases, such as thalassemia and bone marrow aplasia, or by the lack of blood cell production, can benefit. Biostaminalia is a cordon blood research institute with the most advanced and updated research techniques. This is a detached umbilical cord that separated from the baby after 6 days. It is 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. The left end (the wider of the two ends) is where the pliers were placed. The far right is where it connected to the baby.
