They can differentiate into many different cells in our body. Americord processing methods retain the multi-potency of stem cells and tissues to ensure that if in the future your family needs these potential lifesavers, all treatment options are available. ![Two young siblings running and laughing in a park.](https://assets.americordblood.com/transforms/heroimages/873/siblings-running-laughing-fun-americord_da779c5c4419411f648e4888eeab9325.jpg) ![Two young siblings running and laughing in a park.](https://assets.americordblood.com/transforms/heroimages/873/siblings-running-laughing-fun-americord_49a639b762324ba7a416856899a48542.jpg) ## Cord Blood Stem Cells Successfully Treat 10-Year-Old with Sickle Cell Disease Meet Eli (10) and Gus (3), brothers who have an inseparable bond—a bond forged by blood in more ways than one. Eli was born in 2010 with Sickle Cell Disease. Their parents banked Gus's cord blood for free through the Americord Cares program. And in 2020, Eli's Sickle Cell Disease was successfully treated with his brother's banked stem cells. Since the transplant, Eli’s mom shares that her son has been thriving and the doctors couldn’t be happier with his progress.

Considering today’s scientific advancements and the potential for future uses, storing their daughter’s stem cells felt like a “no brainer.” Cord blood stem cells are FDA-approved to treat more than 80 conditions, including childhood leukemia and sickle cell disease and are being studied in 100s of other clinical trials – including autism. The Fohs never imagined that these stem cells would be the key to reducing the severity of Olivia’s autism. In January 2019 with a single, 15 minute procedure, Olivia’s cord blood stem cells helped reduce her autism severity from ASD level 2 (mild to moderate) to level 1.

For some diseases these treatments are the only therapy, and in other diseases they are only employed when front-line therapies have failed or the disease is very aggressive. In the United States, most health insurance providers will pay for a stem cell transplant if it is a "standard therapy" for the patient's diagnosis. ### Cancers ### Leukemias (a cancer of the blood
