CRSCM is a national coalition of patient advocacy nonprofits, consumer healthcare organizations, businesses, researchers, and professional associations dedicated to educating the general public and policymakers on the therapeutic potential of the stem cells found in umbilical cord blood and tissue. Cord blood stem cells have already been used in more than 25,000 transplants worldwide for certain cancers, immune disorders and blood and immune diseases. More recently, the use of one’s own cord blood stem cells is helping to advance the field of regenerative medicine in clinical trials for conditions like cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and hearing loss.
