What Is Cord Blood?

Cord blood is the blood found in the baby’s umbilical cord, it is a rich source of Haemopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). These stem cells make up the building blocks in our blood and immune system throughout our life. A baby’s own cord blood guarantees a perfect match for him/her. The cord blood can also potentially increase the chances of having a match for his/her siblings and parents.

What can Cord Blood do?

The HSCs in Cord Blood can develop into all types of blood cells. These Stem Cells are similar to those found in an adult’s bone marrow and are clinically proven to be used in the treatment of more than 80 diseases1, such as blood disorders, certain childhood & blood cancers, metabolic disorders and immunodeficiency syndrome.

Doctors believe there is more potential, and research is ongoing to use Cord Blood to treat other diseases including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Strokes, and more. By storing your baby’s Cord Blood today, you will be able to tap on the new and ongoing medical advances in Regenerative Therapy and Cell & Gene Therapy.

Using Your Baby’s Cord Blood

An autologous transplant, or transplant where the patient is their own donor, will have a lower risk of life-threatening complications. There is no risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and no need for the patient to undergo immunosuppressive therapy.

Autologous Treatment

Where the patient receives his/her own stem cells.

Allogeneic Treatment

Patient receives stem cells from a matching donor. Probability of a match is much higher among siblings and direct family members.
