STEM CELLS BANKING
with people being increasingly afflicted
by blood and immune system
disorders, it is time to take a serious
look at stem cell banking and how stem
cells may change outcomes in disease
prevention and treatment.
Stem cells are found in blood in the
umbilical cord and placenta after the
birth of the baby. Since the umbilical
cord is the direct connection between
mother and baby during pregnancy,
the blood present in it is rich in stem
cells that can be harvested for future
use. Stem cells are used to treat over
80 diseases, and they may be taken
from donors in the immediate family
or a suitable anonymous match.
WHY STEM CELL BANKING?
Banking stem cells provides a reliable
backup solution for future health
issues that your baby may face. Cord
blood cells are viable for use even after
years have elapsed after collection,
and by their very nature, they are less
likely to cause a rejection during
transplants because they seldom
attack foreign substances, the way
stem cells from bone marrow may.
Cord blood is the blood in your baby's
umbilical cord. It contains stem cells
that can grow into blood vessels,
organs, and tissues. Your baby's cord
blood can be collected at birth and
stored for future use.
ADVANTAGES OF SAVING STEM CELLS
1. Save lives without hassle – The
umbilical cord which connects
the mother and the baby also
nourishes the baby in the womb.
The cord and the blood inside it
can be easily collected at the
time of birth once the baby is
separated. It is a safe and
painless procedure and does not
pose any risk either to the baby
or the mother.
ADVANTAGES OF SAVING STEM CELLS
2. Cord blood transplant is
regarded as a standard
treatment for around 80 life-
threatening disorders like
lymphoma, leukemia and
myeloma. A perfect match is a
perfect chance of saving you –
Your baby’s cryopreserved cord
blood stem cells will be a perfect
match for your baby and also a
ready source of genetically
related stem cells for immediate
family members.
ADVANTAGES OF SAVING STEM CELLS
3. Stem cells are known to replicate
and renew themselves as well as
differentiate and multiply into
different types of cells. This unique
ability to regenerate and repair
damaged parts of the body has
helped to create a potential
treatment option of regenerative
medicine. Cord blood is a rich
source of hematopoietic stem cells
which can be easily collected,
processed and cryopreserved.
Banking these precious stem cells
at the time of birth offers a life-
saving treatment option; if ever
required in the future.
With some of the
advanced technology such as cord blood collect
ed
after childbirth, stem cell isolation, processing
of stem cells and newer applications using
these stored stem cells has made stem cell
banking a promising proposition to safeguard
the health of not only the child but also the
entire family.
