Stem Cells,do you know much about them? I didn’t either. However, Smart Cells, a cell collection and storage company, are currently trying to raise awareness about the positives of cell collection whilst also trying to discard any negative or confusing worries that people may have.
Smart Cells have put together this really easy to follow infographic to help understand what it’s all about, including facts on the following:
- What stem cells are
- Why they are collected at birth
- How they are collected
- The difference between cord blood and cord tissue
- What stem cells can be used for
- Current research into stem cell use for the future
Having recently had my third child, I found the above interesting.If I had know the potential for cord blood, may have researched this further prior to the birth of my children.

Oh it’s great to hear that awareness is being raised of this, I tried to do it when I had my second, but I was unable to as it wasn’t offered in our hospital.

I literally had no idea about stem cells, having heard of them only when I’ve heard the term “stem cell research” but this was so interesting and super informative!
I only really heard about stem cells when I had my second daughter, It was still not that commonly known about and it’s great to raise awareness. This is so interesting!
What a fascinating post! Great that you are raising awareness about the importance of stem cells. I didn’t realise how they could all be used in the treatment of different illnesses.
A really interesting post. Stem cells are amazing and it is great to raise awareness.
We really thought about doing this for Monkey, the benefits are really something. I really wish we had now got both boys. You never know what’s round the corner x
