Blood from the umbilical cord is a rich source of very young stem cells. These are a type of cells with a great ability to multiply and maintain cellularity in different tissues and organs in case of injury and/or illness.
Stem cell research is advancing day by day, attracting great interest in the field of Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine. This is a very recent field, but we can discern signs that it will be a very important tool in the medicine of the future.
At birth, many of these cells are found in the umbilical cord, from where they can be easily harvested and stored via a process that is safe and painless for both the mother and the baby.
Cryopreservation has many advantages, including:
· No problems having to do with ethics, or the health of the baby or the mother.
· Extraction does not interfere with the care and safety of the mother or the newborn.
· Harvesting does not affect or negatively impact the health of others.
· The replication and multiplication of stem cells is currently under study.
· Samples are processed and cryopreserved in our laboratories in Germany, using the latest technologies
and GMP standards.
· Immediate availability of the extracted sample for therapeutic use.
