Cord Blood & Tissue

Exploring the Role of Cord Blood and Tissue-Derived Stem Cells

Cord Blood and Tissue

A Natural Source of Regenerative Cells

At birth, the umbilical cord and placenta hold two powerful sources of healing, cord blood and cord tissue, each rich in unique stem cells with life-saving potential.

Cord Blood has special hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), that can develop into various types of blood cells. These cells are used in the treatment of over 80 medical conditions, including certain cancers, immune disorders, and blood diseases.
Cord Tissue holds mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These are highly adaptable cells capable of developing into bone, cartilage, muscle, and nerve cells, and are being studied for their role in regenerative medicine.

Types of Umbilical Cord Blood & Tissue Banking

Private (Family) Banking Store cord blood and/or tissue exclusively for your family. This option involves a fee and gives you full control and access in case of future health needs. Public Banking You can donate your baby’s cord blood to a public registry for free. It will be available to anyone who needs a stem cell transplant. You won’t be able to use it later, but your donation could save lives.

Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta after childbirth. It is rich in hematopoietic stem cells, which can develop into various types of blood cells. These stem cells are valuable for treating over 80 diseases, including certain cancers, blood disorders, and immune deficiencies.

Cord tissue refers to the actual tissue of the umbilical cord, which contains mesenchymal stem cells. These cells have the potential to develop into bone, cartilage, and other types of tissues, making them useful for regenerative medicine and potential future therapies.

The collection of cord blood is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure for both mother and baby. After the baby is born and the umbilical cord is clamped and cut, the remaining blood in the cord is collected using a sterile needle and bag. This process does not interfere with the birthing process.

There are two main options: public and private banking. Public banks store donated cord blood for use by anyone in need and do not charge fees. Private banks store cord blood and tissue exclusively for use by the donor's family, typically charging an initial fee and annual storage fees.

Research has shown that cord blood stem cells remain viable and effective even after more than 25 years of cryopreservation. This suggests that long-term storage is feasible, providing a potential resource for future medical treatments.
