More than 8000 transplants has been done using Cord Blood since the first transplant in 1988.This Cord Blood can be collected only at birth, and if not taken these stem cells can not be replaced.This technology to collect and store 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. For regenerative medicine applications, the child’s own cord blood is required.
Cord Blood preservation is viewed it as a type of “biological insurance” – because these stem cells may be lifesaving to their family, as there are many dieseases cured by cord blood.Our baby’s cord blood may offer a lifetime of protection:
- Ready availability of a treatment method using Cord Blood when needed, and faster treatment is always better.
- 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.
- Regenerative medicine therapies using cord blood, the child’s own stem cells are required.
- Potential to treat conditions that have no cure today – like juvenile diabetes and brain injury.
- Ready availability of a treatment method using Cord Blood when needed, and faster treatment is always better.
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.
There had been lots of talk on the Cord Blood America which is currently traded in OTC.
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.
They are actually located on Helm Drive in Las Vegas and currently hold the record for the largest cryogenic storage facility 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.
