Why Store Cord Blood? – A One-Time Opportunity with Lifelong Benefits
Cord blood is the rich, nutrient-filled blood remaining in the umbilical cord and placenta after childbirth. It is one of the most valuable sources of stem cells—capable of regenerating blood, immune, and tissue systems. Collecting and storing this blood at birth provides your child with access to life-saving treatments for decades to come.
What Makes Cord Blood So Special?
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
These form the foundation of blood and immune systems.
Used in 80+ approved treatments
Including leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell anemia, and immune disorders.
Ethically collected
No harm or pain to the baby or mother.
Biologically younger
Stem cells in cord blood are more adaptive and less likely to be rejected.
Medical Use Cases
Cord blood stem cells have been used in over 40,000 transplants worldwide, treating:
- Childhood leukemia
- Bone marrow failure syndromes
- Thalassemia
- Certain inherited metabolic diseases
- Immune deficiencies
- Emerging applications in autism and cerebral palsy (clinical trials)
