Guide of Stem Cell Technology
More than 8000 transplants has been done using Cord Blood since the first transplant in 1988.Families know that there is only one opportunity – at birth – to collect these genetically unique stem cells and if not taken, the cord blood is simply discarded. The opportunity for expectant families to collect and store their newborn’s umbilical cord blood stem cells has only been widely available since late 1995.Currently, thousands of parents are taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cord blood stem cells are showing significant potential to treat conditions that have no cure today – like juvenile diabetes and brain injury.
In the near future, it will become a common practice to store Cord Blood as future insurance against many diseases.People are storing cord blood as it may offer a lifetime of protection:
- Regenerative medicine therapies using cord blood, the child’s own stem cells are required.
- For treating cancers and blood disorders in transplant medicine, having the family’s own cord blood available has many advantage as it reduces complications.
- The baby’s cord blood may be used to treat many diseases including leukemia, other cancers, and blood disorders.
- Potential to treat conditions that have no cure today – like juvenile diabetes and brain injury.
Some families have more defined risk factors, but most families bank for the security of knowing the health benefits that stem cells may someday offer their children, themselves, or other family members.
What is the truth behind the Cord Blood America?
Cord Blood America is a publically traded company and featured in countless news and media coverage.
CBAI, moving toward achieving its goal of becoming a globally dominant stem cell storage company, recently signed a deal licensing its umbilical cord blood technology to AXM Pharma Inc., a China pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company.
Cord Blood America is located at Las Vegas and currently is the largest cryogenic storage in the world. Cryogenic technology is widely used in rocket launching all over the world.
Cryogenic pertains to liquefied gases, ie, helium, nitrogen, CO2, which are all inert and extremely cold, ie. -270 deg. Celsius. Others are reactive, LP, Hydrogen.
