Those banks are specialized in stem cell and cord blood collection and stem cell and cord blood storage. The outcomes of using human stem cells are huge. Using those stem cells could greatly help in curing diseases or help create new medicine. For example, it could be completely possible to create viable and healthy heart muscle cells in laboratory and then transplant those healthy cells into a patient with heart disease. Obviously, those cells would have to come from that same patient to prevent any risk of the new cells being rejected by the body of the patient.
