Longtemps considéré comme un déchet biologique, le sang contenu dans le cordon ombilical est reconnu aujourd'hui pour sa richesse en cellules souches. Les cellules souches issues du sang de cordon ombilical permettent d'améliorer les traitements offerts aux personnes souffrant de maladies graves comme la leucémie, l'anémie et l'aplasie médullaire (la moelle osseuse ne produit pas suffisamment de cellules sanguines). 1, record 1, French, - sang%20de%20cordon%20ombilical
