Your baby’s umbilical cord represents a once in a

lifetime opportunity to capture a rich source of human

stem cells.

Stem cells are special cells in the body that can divide

and produce more of themselves. They’re used to treat

diseases and injuries, and are considered to be the

cornerstone of regenerative therapies. The umbilical

cord — and the stem cells within it — can be harvested

TRANSPLANTSBecause haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can transform into any type of blood cell, they are currently being used in

the treatment of various blood cancers and disorders. This includes leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

REGENERATIVE THERAPYThis groundbreaking medical field uses stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. This exciting

area of medicine promises some extraordinary medical possibilities within your children’s lifetime, with

mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) considered to be an extremely important part of future developments.

and cryogenically frozen for use later in life in case of

any medical issues.

Although there are many fields of study, two stem cell

treatments are receiving particular focus. These areas of

medicine include the Transplant Medicine (cancer and

blood disorders) and Regenerative Medicine (cerebral

palsy, brain injury and juvenile diabetes).
