After birth, your baby’s umbilical cord contains valuable stem cells that can be collected and stored. Please find more information below:

 

Cord Blood Banking collects the blood remaining in the umbilical cord. It is rich in blood-forming stem cells (Hemopoietic stem cells) used today to treat leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell disease, and certain immune disorders. However, it has limitations: it contains a limited number of cells that do not multiply and is mostly used for donor transplants (often for siblings or others).

Stem Cell Banking collects Mesenchymal stem cells from both the cord blood and the cord tissue. These mesenchymal stem cells are a perfect biological match for your child, enabling personalized care tailored to their own biology. Unlike cord blood, these MSCs can multiply, creating a lifelong resource that can be regrown on demand and used throughout your child’s lifetime. They offer the potential to help repair and protect the body, regenerate tissues, bones, and cartilage, reset the immune system, target chronic conditions, and support faster recovery from injuries.
