 | Stem cells are the body’s master cells sometimes called the “building blocks” of life. Cord blood stem cells are multipotent cells, which means they have the potential to form one, many or all cell types of an organism. Cord blood stem cells are hematopoietic cells—blood stem cells that can become different types of blood cells.
