MiracleCord does not offer placenta tissue banking because the stem cells derived from the placenta tissue (mesenchymal stem cells, also known as MSC's) are identical to those that come from cord tissue. MiracleCord's laboratory facilities have the ability to expand the MSC's from the cord tissue by thousands of times, therefore placental tissue banking provides no additional benefit whatsoever.
