Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Banking

How Stem Cell Can Aid in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases

Stem cells are primordial cells that can differentiate or develop into a variety of specific cell types. They are classified based upon their origin and ability to differentiate. So far, more than 80diseases have been successfully treated with the help of stem cells. What makes umbilical cord stem cell banking even more exciting is the results of some recent studies that claim that these cells can be used for the treatment of AIDS, Diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Liver disease, Heart disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Cord Injury ,Parkinson's Disease, and Stroke.

Umbilical cord stem cell banking can transform or even save a life. The continual evolvement of stem cell therapies is bringing in new hopes to patients and their families. So pledge to save or donate now!

Ailments That Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Banking Can Cure
Below are some diseases and disorders that have been treated with cord blood stem cells.

Cancer

•    Acute Leukemia
•    Chronic Leukemia
•    High-Risk Solid Tumors
•    Hodgkin & Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
•    Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Immune Disorders

•    Chronic Granulomatous Disease
•    Hystiocytic Disorders
•    Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
•    Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Diseases
•    Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome

Metabolic Disorders

•    Krabbe Disease
•    Hurler Syndrome
•    Metachromatic Leukodystrophy
•    Sanfilippo Syndrome

Blood Disorders

•    Aplastic Anemia
•    Beta Thalassemia
•    Diamond-Blackfan Anemia
•    Fanconi Anemia
•    Sickle Cell Disease

Histiocytic Disorders

•    Familial ErythrophagocyticLymphohistiocytosis
•    Histiocytosis-X
•    Hemophagocytosis

Inherited Erythrocyte Abnormalities

•    Beta Thalassemia Major
•    Sickle Cell Disease

Inherited Immune System Disorders

•    Ataxia-Telangiectasia
•    Kostmann Syndrome
•    Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
•    DiGeorge Syndrome
•    Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome
•    Omenn's Syndrome
•    Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
•    SCID with Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency
•    Absence of T & B Cells SCID
•    Absence of T Cells, Normal B Cell SCID
•    Common Variable Immunodeficiency
•    Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome
•    X-Linked Lymphoproliferative Disorder

Other Disorders

•    Inherited Platelet Abnormalities
•    Plasma Cell Disorders

Make every possible effort to opt for umbilical cord stem cell banking or to donate cord blood stem cells,so that you or someone else can see a light after the dark tunnel of chronic ailments that are listed above. Bear in mind that for inherited genetic conditions, a child may not be able to use his or her own stem cells for the treatment. In these cases, the sibling's stem cell which matches with that of the child would be the first choice. Family stem cell banking provides you an access to current regenerative medicine clinical trials in autism, cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injury.
