  3. Introduction: If you're expecting a baby, you might have thought about umbilical cord blood stem cell banking - along with the many other safety measures for your child. Many parents are opting for umbilical cord blood stem cell banking, as science has time and again proven stem cell preservation benefits and that cord blood stem cells can further protect your children from more than 80 life threatening diseases such leukemia, sickle cell anemia, lymphoma, immune disorders, cerebral palsy, paralysis, spinal cord injuries and more. With so many diseases having no treatment options, cord blood stem cells are certainly a biological insurance.

  4. Cord blood stem cell preservation benefits: Cord blood Stem cells are building blocks and cells that can both reproduce themselves and have the potential to turn into other types of cells. There are several types of stem cells. The stem cells present in umbilical cord blood and bone marrow are called hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). There are many reasons to opt for cord blood banking for your baby, we have created a simplified list to explain the stem cell preservation benefits and process of stem cell banking.

  5. Cord blood offers a number of advantages to donors and transplant recipients. It is easy to collect, often more likely to provide a suitable match and is stored frozen, ready to use. Umbilical cord blood stem cells are easy to collect and poses no medical risk to the mother or newborn baby.Cord blood collection is a safe, simple procedure. The doctor or paramedic collects cord blood from the umbilical cord, in a way that does not interfere with the care of the mother or newborn baby.

  6. Cord blood stem cell transplants do not require a perfect match.Studies have shown that cord blood transplants can be performed in cases that the donor and the recipient are partially matched. In contrast, bone marrow grafts require 100% matching in most cases.

  7. Because partially matched cord blood transplants can be performed, cord blood increases the patient’s chance to find a suitable donor. With cord blood, a relatively small donor pool can effectively support a patients' needs.

  8. Cord Blood Transplants are associated with lower risk of viral infections.Cord blood is also less likely to transmit certain common viruses, like Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV), potentially lethal infections for transplant recipients.
