What is all the fuss about Stem Cells? What are they?
What are stem cells? • Stem cells are undifferentiated cells in the body that are able to grow into differentiated cell types. They are broadly divided into two: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells • Adult stem cells – found in organs and teeth • Embryonic cells have the ability to grow into any cell in the body
*Pluripotent: Embryonic stem cells are able to develop into any type of cell, excepting those of the placenta. Only embryonic stem cells of the morula are totipotent: able to develop into any type of cell, including those of the placenta.

Why are stem cells important? Lets have a look‌
Researchers are trying to use stem cell therapy for the treatment of different diseases like: • Neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis • Diabetes • Liver disease • Musculoskeletal disorders and for • Autoimmune diseases • Musculoskeletal disorders and for • Heart disease • Cancer (bone marrow transplants) and spinal fusion surgery • Regenerating nerves following brain or spinal cord injury • Bone fractures
Why should you bank your stem cells? • When everything looks fine, stem cells might be unimportant to you because you do not suffer from disorders such as: spinal cord injury, diabetes etc. But, stem cells could be crucial in treating diseases due to their special property of being forever ‘young’ and adaptable to change • It is a very easy process and can be done by saving the umbilical cord blood • It is a safeguard for your health
Where to bank stem cells? • The umbilical cord stem cells from the umbilical cord blood can be deposited in a umbilical cord blood bank and can be used anytime in the future • A proper umbilical cord blood bank that follows medical standards and guidelines must be chosen
