Stem cells
and cord blood
Stem Cells
Stem cells are primary, non-specialised cells characterized by their limitless potential to proliferate and their unique ability to differentiate into specialised cells whereby tissues are formed. Their properties have been used to renew or replace damaged cells. Stem cells can be retrieved, among others, from the umbilical cord blood.

What are the advantages of storing umbilical cord?
- MSC's are used in medical therapeutic experiments for the treatment of such conditions as cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or articular cartilage damage,
- MSC's may be transplanted together with umbilical cord blood cells where there is a relatively small number of hematopoietic stem cells from umbilical cord blood,
- MSC's may be used for the treatment of the entire family (tissue compatibility requirements are not as restrictive as in the case of blood).
