Have you ever heard of Cord Blood Banking?
Cryo-cell has helped more than 230,000 clients worldwide preserve their newborn's umbilical cord blood for potential use against many diseases. Not only is Cryo-cell an expert in Cord Blood banking, but they are also leading the way on finding less controversial way of preserving stem cells.
Cord Blood is the blood remaining in the umbilical cord and placenta after your baby is born. It was once thought to be useless and was discarded after birth.... now scientists have discovered that it is a rich source of stem cells and can actually be a viable alternative to bone marrow!! In fact, the body accepts the stem cells from cord blood much more easily than it does that of bone marrow.
What does this mean? It means that if your child ever contacts a disease that needs to be treated with chemotherapy or radiation, which has a very negative impact on the immune system, the cord blood can be used to help strengthen your child and repopulate the blood. Also, your child's cord blood has a one in four chance or matching a sibling, which is a an amazing thing considering how hard it can be to come by a bone marrow match.
New medical technology could even use these cells to rebuild cardiac tissue, repair damage due to stroke or spinal cord injuries and reverse the effects of such diseases as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s!! The research is still in it's early stages but the possibilities are very promising.
