Expecting a new member in your family, congratulations! You must be receiving lot of attention and care as you are going to bring a new life in this world. You must be following every pregnancy tips and advice and of your doctor and elders. One advice that we would like to give you, preserve your baby’s Umbilical Cord with Cord Blood Banking.
Cord blood is a rich in hematopoietic stem cells and hence is known to cure many blood related diseases. Cord Blood Banking is process by which cord blood is collected, processed and stored under specific conditions. Cord blood is found in the umbilical cord and the placenta which connects the mother and the baby. But after birth baby cord is cut off and discarded. The cord blood contained within this umbilical cord also goes away with it. The Cord blood storage is a three minutes of painless process and every mother must do this. It’s a life savior for the baby in future.
Haematopoetic stem cells (HSCs) are primarily responsible for replenishing blood and regenerating the immune system. HSCs are also known as precursor cells, as they have the unique ability to differentiate into different types of cells found in blood, namely: Red blood cells which carry oxygen to all cells in the body, White blood cells which fight infection and Platelets which assist blood clotting in the event of injury. There are three main sources of stem cells: Bone marrow, Peripheral blood (blood that circulates through your body), Umbilical cord blood.
Umbilical cord blood is the best option for future stem cell transplant, as it is a 100% match for your baby in future and gives 25% match for its siblings. You do not have to look for donors where the risk to donor is eliminated and the risk of Graft versus Host Disease is minimized. Once stored and banked, these stem cells may be easily retrieved and readily available.
If any family has history of hereditary diseases than it very important for parents to opt for Stem cell banking. This will help them in case if in future anyone in family needs stem cell therapy. With the ability of regenerating cells and tissues there has come lot of hope to treat the untreatable diseases and conditions through stem cells. Stem cells are being used to treat Leukemia, Thalassemia, Neuro and Muscular degenerative diseases and in more than 130 diseases. There are some successful trials also in the case of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiac failure, Multiple Sclerosis, Retinitis pigmentosa and Spinal cord injuries. Scientists believe that soon there will be treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and so many other degenerative and chronic diseases. There are more than 500 clinical trials underway.
