What Does UCB Stand For?
UCB stands for Umbilical Cord Blood
UCB, or Umbilical Cord Blood, refers to the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following the birth of a baby. Rich in hematopoietic stem cells, UCB is used in medical treatments and research, particularly for its potential in treating various blood disorders, cancers, and genetic diseases. It serves as a valuable resource for stem cell transplantation and regenerative medicine, offering a less invasive alternative to bone marrow collection.
