Stem cells are extremely valuable and powerful
because they have the ability to become any type of cells in the body. This versatility allows stem cells to be used to regenerate or repair diseased tissue
and organs.
Stem cells have been used in bone marrow transplants since the 1970s and today they are approved by the FDA to treat serious medical conditions.
Over 5,000 promising clinical trials are in process worldwide studying cord blood, cord tissue and placental tissue’s role in advancing medicine and potential applications in regenerative medicine. Current estimates indicate that approximately 1 in 3 individuals could benefit over their lifetime from regenerative medicine.
LEARN MOREDifferent types of stem cells have the potential to repair and heal the body in different ways.
Cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the building blocks of the blood and immune systems; and has for more than 30 years, been used in the proven treatment of over 80 serious conditions in stem cell transplants to rebuild the blood and immune systems, including:
The cord tissue contains many different types of stem cells, including mesenchymal stem cells, epithelial and endothelial, that all have different potential uses in different ways then cord blood. They are currently being investigated in over 500 extremely promising clinical trials in areas including:
Stem cells from placental tissue are already being used in therapies to treat wounds and promote healing – including diabetic ulcers and eye conditions that could ultimately lead to blindness. But they also have tremendous potential for use in regenerative medicine in diseases including:
Amnion Placental tissue contains a powerful trio of healing properties: collagen, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid. As well as being another source of mesenchymal stem cells, the amniotic membrane itself has a combination of growth factors, cytokines, and anti-inflammatory proteins that can help cells communicate with each other to fight disease.
Cord vessels are potential life-savers because they contain endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). These special stem cells can turn into endothelial cells, which line our blood vessel walls and help in the formation of new blood vessels. With many clinical trials underway around the world, EPCs could soon provide cures for a wide range of very serious diseases, including:
Your newborn’s stem cells are collected immediately after birth by your doctor or midwife using the CellSave collection kit. The collection process is non-invasive, completely painless, and only takes a few minutes.
The stem cells are then sealed in a temperature-monitored shipping container. Call us– we’re available 24/7, 365 days a year to collect the kit and securely transport it to our designated state-of-the-art laboratory.
We receive and process stem cell collections every day of the year, which are analyzed by our experienced laboratory scientists for TNCs, CD34+/CD45 count, viability, bacteriology, fungal and infectious diseases.
The precious stem cells from the cord blood are separated and purified with a precise, fully automated closed-system that has one of the highest reported stem cell recovery rates in the industry. The tissues are tested to evaluate the quality of the samples, we store them whole to ensure your family has the most options science has to offer in the future.
We place the frozen stem cells in our cryotanks, containing liquid nitrogen at almost -196 ̊C. At this temperature, the cells remain perfectly preserved for decades. Our laboratory and storage facility located in Dubai Healthcare City is built to help ensure the long-term safety of your child’s newborn stem cells.
Our high-tech system continuously monitors the frozen stem cells. If they are ever needed, we perform another round of quality checks before transporting them in cryogenic shippers to any transplant center in the world.
Once you make the choice to preserve your newborn’s stem cells, we will be there
every step of the way to ensure the process is simple and seamless.
