Stem cells help regenerate organs and tissues! Make sure to select the right Stem Cell Bank.
STEM CELL BASICS:
What are stem cells? Cord blood originates in newborn’s umbilical cord and can be collected immediately after birth. It contains stem cells which have been used to regenerate healthy blood and immune systems. Stem cells can heal the body, promote recovery, and offer an enormous amount of therapeutic potential. Babycell is a leading stem cell bank in India. Babycell provides all the services involved in stem cell banking: collection, processing and storage.
Types of stem cells The human body is made up of 216 cells and 3 types of stem cells mainly; 1. Totipotent stem cells: These cells can differentiate into embryonic and extra embryonic cell types. Such cells have an unlimited capacity and can construct any tissue or organs. 2. Pluripotent stem cells: They can differentiate into nearly all cells. 3. Multipotent stem cells: They have a capacity to give rise to a cell with a specific function. Umbilical cord blood and cord tissues are rich in multipotent stem cells. These stem cells have powerful potential of renewing body tissues. Cord blood stem cells are used in the treatment of a variety of disorders. Cord blood stem cells are widely used for siblings or other family members, including various cancers, blood disorders, immune disorders, and metabolic disorders. These cells are stored in umbilical cord blood bank. Stem cell transplant enables a cure for blood disorders, immune disorders, cancer and other metabolic diseases.
How to choose the right stem cell bank for your baby?
Make sure to choose a stem cell bank which is wellreputed and certified. It is also important to understand the cell processing quality standards. These certifications validate the quality standards a stem cell bank follows. It is very important to understand the necessary technological expertise and experience of the bank. It is important to know if the bank has a good network, accessibility and tie ups with hospitals. This will ensure that they will be able to deliver your child's stored cord blood cells soon enough when the need arises. Storage facility location is of prime importance. Ideally, you should choose a bank with its storage facility situated at a location less prone to natural disasters like floods or earthquakes.
