WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?
More possibilities for your children health
Cells construct whole human body and have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into cells of various tissue. They are vital to maintaining our health in the development of our life and can be obtained from various sources: bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood.
Cord Blood Stem Cells
The umbilical cord blood is a source of Stem Cells with very special features: they are very versatile and have a high plasticity but they can also differentiate into cells of various tissues. The preservation of Stem Cells from babies’ umbilical cord is today a reality and a real alternative to Bone Marrow Transplant. It is very easy to extract Stem Cells from the cord as it is a biological material that will be discarded at delivery. Today, more than 40,000 cord blood stem cells transplants are done in the world to combat over 80 diseases. Moreover, in recent years, they are finding a large number of clinical trial evidence for the use of Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine.
