Stem cells
Bone marrow : Soft tissue is inside your bones. It produces many blood cells. Doctors remove it to get stem cells.
Cord blood stem cells (The blood in the cord that connects a newborn to the mother during pregnancy has high levels of blood stem cells. Doctors can collect and store these in freezers for a long time)
Peripheral blood stem cells: You can get daily injections of a drug called filgrastim. The drug increases the number of stem cells in the blood. It helps push out the same types of stem cells found in marrow. Doctors can collect this in the same way as when you donate blood.
