What Does PCB Stand For?
PCB stands for Placental Cord Blood
PCB, or Placental Cord Blood, refers to the blood collected from the umbilical cord and placenta following childbirth. This blood is rich in stem cells, which have the potential to treat various medical conditions, including certain cancers and genetic disorders. The collection of PCB is a non-invasive procedure that can provide critical therapeutic opportunities for newborns and their siblings, making it a valuable resource in regenerative medicine and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
