Saving Baby's first lock of hair is a lovely sentiment, but Cbr Systems hopes that parents will consider saving something that might be more useful. The company, doing business as Cord Blood Registry, collects, processes, and stores blood stem cells taken from umbilical cords at birth. Such stem cells have the potential to be used to treat future diseases and illnesses for the child and its siblings. The company's laboratory is affiliated with the University of Arizona, Tucson. Founded in 1992, the company has preserved cord blood from more than 250,000 newborns. For many years, the uses of cord blood was more theoretical than practical, but medical advances are now making greater use of the stored cells.
