Why is cord blood a valuable resource




















Next, clinicians process these blood samples to separate different components of it so that they can serve the needs of the patient in the future if needed. And the companies like thermogenesis. Cord blood has a lot of stem cells that can differentiate into different types of blood cells. All that it needs is the right separation procedure for these stem cells without any contamination.

Working with the innovative PXP system by Thermogenesis is one such effective process to do that. The isolated stem cells can be easily transplanted to patients for treating different deadly diseases. The concept of cord blood transplants has improved remarkably over the last decade.

Cord blood banking is a vital matter for all parents. This blood is not only guaranteed to be compatible, but it is also a source of stem cells that are still in an early stage of development.

This high-quality, pre-condition stage makes them invaluable as a weapon in fighting the illness. It also may help other, non-family patients who are a suitable match.

These are conditions for which few other treatments exist. Some types of leukemia and cancers are best treated with a transplant of cells from an unrelated donor found through a cord blood registry.

Critics of cord blood banking often cite the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics statement on this issue, which supports donation to a cord blood registry rather than private cord blood banking. This statement, published in , is based on research data, which is now terribly out of date.

Morey Krus of ViaCord, a private cord blood bank, feels is inaccurate. And the number of diseases that may be treated keeps changing as research advances. Some cord blood banks are now offering storage of stem cells collected from the placenta, too. If cord blood is collected poorly or if the sample is very small such as with a premature infant , this service may be valuable.

Our fifth child was born in September , and thankfully she is very healthy.
