Stem cells are powerful master cells with two unique properties. This means that when your body needs more stem cells, it can multiply to produce more specialized cells that can replace damaged cells. Your baby's body contains more than 200 types of specialized cells, including cells in the hair, skin, organs, brain and nervous system. Each of these cells comes from stem cells and has only one important function. For example, skin cells act as a protective barrier with the outside world, while heart cells pump vital blood into your body. Red blood cells carry the precious oxygen your baby needs to function, and white blood cells are the immune system that protects them from disease.
With the right conditions and the right signals, your Baby Stem Cell can differentiate into these different types of cells. Therefore, they are extremely useful in the treatment of a growing number of diseases where specialized cells are damaged and need to be replaced.
What's the difference between cord blood stem cells?
Stem cells are found in many parts of the human body. However, some sources contain higher concentrations than others. Human embryos are also an excellent source of stem cells, but their use is controversial and illegal in some countries. Instead, blood and umbilical cord tissue are drawn from material that is not normally needed after a baby is born. It is the richest, purest source of stem cells your child will ever have.
Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Samples
Cord blood is a biological product found in the blood vessels of the placenta and in the trunk of the umbilical cord. After the baby is born and after the umbilical cord has been cut, the umbilical cord blood is drawn. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, "umbilical cord blood is only approved for use in hematopoietic stem cell transplant procedures for patients with hematopoietic disorders.
Cord blood is made up of hematopoietic stem cells that are used to treat patients with blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia. Other blood and immune system disorders include syndrome and sickle cell anemia. The advantage of using cord blood is that it is a source of stem cells produced by blood cells and can be used for transplantation by people who need regeneration of hematopoietic cells. After birth, stem cells are collected from the blood of the umbilical cord. If the placenta is still in the uterus, the doctor will squeeze the umbilical cord and draw blood. The umbilical cord blood is then transferred to a special barcode processing set.
Umbilical Cord Tissue Stem Cell Samples
Most stem cells are found in umbilical cord tissue, including fat and bone marrow. Umbilical cord stem cells have a limited ability to deliver results to various cells in the body. Researchers believed that adult stem cells produce similar cells. Researchers say that mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow can only produce blood cells. However, new evidence suggests that stem cell tissue creates multiple types of cells. Stem cells from the bone marrow, for example, make bone muscle. To remove stem cells from the bone marrow, needles are inserted into the soft center of the bone. Through this use of stem cells, research has led to clinical trials that have tested the usefulness and safety of stem cells in humans. Adult stem cells are being tested on people with heart disease and neurological complications.
Collect your child's stem cells
Almost immediately after your baby is born, your blood and umbilical cord tissues are protected by reliable Life Cell treatment protocols and advanced cryopreservation systems. However, there is currently no reason to believe that cells will be received correctly and deteriorate over time. Of course, the National Health Service's cord blood bank is still essential for treating blood diseases like leukemia, and their proven technology works. But looking into the future, will adult or child stem cells win the race to heal anything and everything? At the moment, everything is just speculation. But it seems to me that if adult stem cell technology is successful, it will be the most practical choice. This will prevent the cells from freezing for decades and deteriorating over time. Instead, cells can simply be removed from an adult if desired. And for the future, there is no need to plan what I am not very good at - especially in the ninth month! We have to wait and see what the outcome of the Oxford trials will be. This is an exciting time to see the drugs of the future being played out.
