The Amazing Potential of Newborn Stem Cells
Stem cell research is one of the most rapidly advancing areas of study today. Many new discoveries involving stem cells will be discovered in your child’s lifetime.
Your decision to preserve your newborn stem cells will ensure that your child will have access to these amazing new stem cell therapies in the future.
Perfectly Preserved for a Lifetime
Newborn stem cells from cord blood and cord tissue are only available at birth. This is why the choice to preserve your baby’s stem cells is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When cryogenically preserved and stored, newborn stem cells will remain in their pristine state, available over the lifetime of your baby. When your child is 2, 20 or 80 years old, they will have access to a perfectly matched sample of stem cells if they ever need a stem cell transplant.
Over 80 Diseases Treated with Cord Blood
Physicians have been using cord blood for more than 30 years. It is one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for treating blood cancers (such as leukaemia), blood disorders, immune system disorders and metabolic disorders. As of today, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are used to treat over 80 different life-threatening diseases.
Scientists around the world are exploring the utility of hematopoietic stem cells as a treatment option for conditions including diabetes, heart disease and autism spectrum disorder. The uses of cord blood will continue to expand and it will likely become a therapeutic option for many other diseases in the lifetime of your baby.
Stem Cell Therapies Currently Treat the Following Diseases
Diseases Currently Targeted by Stem Cell Therapies
Many Clinical Trials Underway Exploring Future Potential
More than 1000 clinical trials are currently looking at using both cord blood and cord tissue stem cells as possible therapeutics. Hematopoietic stem cells from cord blood are being investigated for the use in treatment of diabetes, stroke and autism spectrum disorder. Additional clinical trials are examining the use of mesenchymal stem cells from cord tissue for treating osteoporosis, arthritis and brain injuries.
With the amazing progress being made in stem cell research, the list of diseases that can be targeted with cord blood and cord tissue stem cells in the future will continue to expand. It is highly like that many highly prevalent diseases of today such as diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s will be treated with cell therapies in the lifetime of your child.
A Promising Future
Now: Over 80 Diseases Treated
Newborn stem cells from cord blood and cord tissue have the potential to regenerate tissues of the body. They can only be collected at birth. Traditionally both the umbilical cord and the blood left over were discarded as medical waste. You now have the option to cryogenically preserve these valuable cells for future use. The regenerative powers of stem cells have been harnessed to heal damaged cells and tissues in over 80 life-threatening diseases. This number will only continue to grow in the future.
Future: Endless Possibilities
Researchers from around the world are exploring the utility of both cord blood and cord tissue stem cells in over 1000 clinical trial for the treatment of various diseases including breast and ovarian cancer, heart disease, diabetes and much more. Stem cells have become a major area of research in nearly every branch of medicine due to their regenerative potential. Researchers postulate that stem cells hold the key to many major breakthroughs in medicine.
