Most of us have all heard about Cord Blood Banking, has anyone heard about storage of Cord Tissue?

Cord tissue contains the same stem cells that are found in cord blood — in different quantities. For example, cord blood contains many more Haematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) than cord tissue. While HSCs are present in cord tissue, the quantity is considered too small to be useful for performing a stem cell treatment. That is why cord blood banks suggests banking the cord tissue as well, together with cord blood.
