Stem Cells-Why Store Stem Cells?

Why store stem cells?

Umbilical cord blood and tissue contain stem cells that can be extracted and stored by Ulviyya-Cells for use in the future.

The uses of stem cells, which serve as the body's building blocks, are countless. Because they can replace, regenerate, and repair nearly any type of cell, these powerful cells are special.

What do stem cells do?

Starting off as unspecialized cells, stem cells are. They can transform into a variety of cell types, including blood, bone, tissue, and organ cells, when the proper chemical and genetic cues are received. An umbilical cord stem cell transplant can be performed to swap out unhealthy old cells for new, healthy ones.

Why store my baby’s umbilical cord stem cells?

One day, you or a loved one might be afflicted by a condition that stem cells might cure. Umbilical cord blood and tissue stem cells can both be kept in storage, or ideally both as they each contain unique stem cells that can be employed to treat various ailments.

01

One chance

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to collect a priceless resource that might one day be utilised to cure a major disease or illness by storing your baby’s stem cells at birth. Your baby’s stem cells may also match those of their siblings or parents and be used to treat them. These cells are effectively preserved at birth in their healthiest and most potent state.

02

A rich source

In the past, bone marrow was the primary source of stem cells. But today, because to extensive research, we know that hematopoietic stem cells, among other very effective stem cells, are abundant in umbilical cord blood and tissue.

03

Proven success

In 1988, the first stem cell transplant using stem cells from umbilical cord blood was successful. The cord blood was taken from the newborn sister of the patient, a boy with Fanconi’s anaemia, a dangerous blood condition. Since then, there have been many more successful transplants for a variety of various diseases.

04

Treatment possibilities

It’s intriguing to think about how stem cells could be able to repair damaged tissue and cells. Stem cell transplants are regarded as a conventional form of treatment for more than 80 illnesses. Clinical trials are being conducted on numerous other viruses, including COVID-19. The utilisation of stem cells from umbilical cord tissue is a particularly interesting area of research.

What are umbilical cord blood stem cells used for?

One day, you or a loved one might be afflicted by a condition that stem cells might cure. Umbilical cord blood and tissue stem cells can both be kept in storage, or ideally both as they each contain unique stem cells that can be employed to treat various ailments.

Transplant

An individual's blood and immune system can be rebuilt by a cord blood stem cell transplant by swapping out unhealthy old cells for new, healthy ones. More recently, it has been demonstrated that cord blood stem cells can develop into other tissues like bone and nerve cells.

Potential

The use of cord blood stem cells in regenerative medicine is highly promising. These cells can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including neuron, bone, skin, heart, and liver cells, according to research. It has also been demonstrated that they encourage the body's natural mending processes.

Future

The early clinical therapy of ischemic heart disease and a few neurological diseases has already been made possible by these promising breakthroughs. Cord blood is anticipated to be a significant factor in the development of our capacity to treat human disease. The field of regenerative medicine has a bright future.

Cord blood stem cells fight illness and disease

Storing stem cells from your baby’s umbilical cord opens up a range of treatment options for more than 80 conditions. Clinical trials are underway on many more, including COVID.

Umbilical cord blood and tissue compared: a current and future perspective

Although the therapeutic potential of stem cells derived from cord blood and cord tissue is widely acknowledged, different cell types can be found in each product.

How are cord blood and cord tissue collected and stored?

Cryogenically freezing the blood from the umbilical cord after delivery is known as cord blood banking. Small sections of the umbilical cord are harvested, cryopreserved, and kept in storage as part of cord tissue banking.

Cord blood stem cells are well accepted in clinical use

Since it contains hematopoietic (blood-making) stem cells, cord blood has been successfully used for over 25 years to treat 80+ ailments, including immunological deficiencies, several genetic disorders, and blood and bone marrow disorders such leukaemias and anaemias (1). After chemotherapy, the bone marrow, blood, and immune cell systems can be miraculously restored using cord blood from the infant or a sibling. If sibling cord blood is used, the donor cells may also be able to combat any cancer cells that may still be present in the patient or replenish a bone marrow deficit with healthy cells following chemotherapy. The groundbreaking success of this therapy option began with the first cord blood transplant, which was performed in 1988. With an interview

Cord Tissue

Therapy using cord tissue stem cells has a bright future. The therapeutic usefulness of cord tissue stem cells for a wide range of disorders is expanding and they can generate a variety of various tissue types. Leading scientists have reported that the umbilical cord's Wharton's Jelly, or the gelatinous tissue within the chord, is a rich source of a distinct but no less significant form of stem cell.
