Watch two Cord Blood Registry families share their stories from this season's new medical talk show The Doctors.

Celebrity host Dr. Travis Stork and Ob/Gyn expert Dr. Lisa Masterson discuss how this child's own cord blood was used to treat his brain injury.

Banking cord blood does not guarantee that the cells will provide a cure or be applicable for every situation. For inherited genetic conditions, the child will not be able to use his or her own stem cells. A matched sibling's stem cells would be the first choice. Ultimate use will be determined by the treating physician. Treatment for brain injury and juvenile diabetes is experimental and currently requires the use of your own cord blood. Medical treatments using family banked cord tissue are in early research and are not available today; there is no guarantee that therapies will be developed in the future.
