Celebrating Cord Blood Day with Cerebral Palsy Alliance

Friday 15 November 2024 is Cord Blood Day, and Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) is thrilled to recognise the incredible potential of cord blood in advancing therapies for children with cerebral palsy.

Stem cells from cord blood have shown great promise in regenerative medicine, with the potential to protect and repair brain cells in early stages of development. At CPA, we’re committed to advancing research that integrates cord blood treatments with early intervention therapies to enhance developmental outcomes.

Join us in celebrating this important awareness day by:
