Stem Cell Banking For Regenerative Medicine

Since umbilical cord blood stem cell can be accessed only at childbirth, it becomes necessary to collect this important resource at that time as these cord blood stem cells do not remain alive unless they are cryo-preserved. Stem cells, thus preserved under our umbilical cord blood banking service, and will then be available for any future therapeutic applications.

Although stem cells can be obtained from an “allogenic” source – i.e from a donor, these cells cannot be used unless their HLA matches with that of the recipient. Unfortunately, the probability of finding a match is 1 in 25000.

Thus, it is better to cryopreserve your child’s umbilical cord stem cells as they are very good sources of stemcells and do not need HLA matching as they are your child’s own cells (autologous).

We are the only company in India that provides you with personalized service of umbilical cord blood banking right from the very beginning. Once you decide to bank your child’s cord blood stem cells, all you have to do is to contact one of our local representatives. They will help you in all stages, before and after the collection of cord blood.

Umbilical cord – An important source of mesenchymal stem cells
Another excellent source of adult (mesenchymal) stem cells is the umbilical cord itself. These stem cells have great relevance in the field of regenerating medicine for regenerating cartilage and muscle tissues.

International Stem cell Services provides you with the unique opportunity to preserve these cells at the time of birth. These cells have remarkable properties of trans-differentiation and immune-modulation. Several scientific studies have proven the ability of these cells to regenerate a number of tissues including cartilage, bone and muscle.

Contrary to some claims by other companies, the umbilical cord cannot be preserved as a whole, without being processed. The cord has a short life unless it has been processed for harvesting stem cells, which can then be preserved for extended periods of time.
