Stem Cells - The Building BlocksAnd Lifesavers Of Our BodyDid you know that every part of our body – our skin, bones, blood, organs and tissues, is made up of tiny stem cells? These cells have the unique ability to multiply limitlessly and convert into any other types of cells such as nerve cells, muscle cells and red blood cells.Their regenerative capacity enables them torepair and rejuvenate the body upon need.

This is what makes stem cells potential lifesavers that can treat over 80 medical conditions including Leukemia, Myeloma, Lymphoma, Neuroblastoma, Thalassemia, and sickle cell disease, to name a few. In fact, over 1 million people have benefited from stem cell treatments across the world, for over 80 medical conditions.

Here’s an easy way to understand stem cells. Imagine the stem of a plant that grows, branching out into leaves, flowers and fruits. On windy days, the branches can break. In some seasons the leaves dry up and fall. Despite this wear and tear, the stem finds a way to grow back to its original self.

In a similar manner, stem cells are the basic building blocks of the human body with the unique ability to 1) Grow infinitely as compared to other cells which can only grow a limited number of times before they break down, and 2) At the right time become a specialized cell such as muscle cell, heart cell, blood cell, bone cell, or any other cell. Stem cells thus aid our body’s growth and support repair when cells are lost due to injury or age.

Umbilical Cord Stem Cells: The Lifesavers To Protect Your Baby ForeverThe umbilical cord is a life support system for the baby before birth. It is also the richest source of naive, pristine stem cells. Umbilical cord stem cells are the most studied branch in stem cell research. Over 25 years, umbilical cord stem cells have been used in the treatment of over 80 medical conditions.

Umbilical Cord Blood

The blood left in the umbilical cord after the baby is born is called the umbilical cord blood. This blood is rich in Haematopoetic stem cells that have the potential to build the blood and the immune system.

Umbilical Cord Tissue

The cord tissue is nothing but the cord itself that remains after the cord blood is removed.This cord tissue is rich in Mesenchymal stem cells that build the tissues and muscles and also regenerate them when they wither due to aging, illness or accident.

Through a process known as umbilical cord banking your baby’s umbilical cord bloodand tissue can be collected at the time of birth and preserved for a lifetime.

Benefits Of Stem Cell BankingPregnancy and childbirth can be overwhelming and stem cell preservation can become another important task on the checklist before the baby arrives. But there are a host of reasons why it is important to welcome your baby into the world with this amazing gift:

The World Over The umbilical cord is the No.1 source of stem cells for treatment in children in the US and Japan.

Family PackFor treatments, umbilical cord stem cells offer a far better match as they are more flexible than other stem cells. Stem cells from the umbilical cord blood of your baby offer a 40% match chance fora sibling.

Friend For LifeUmbilical cord stem cells can be preserved for a lifetime. They are a ready resource that can be used at anytime and with no long waiting period to retrieve them.

The ChampCord blood stem cells can be utilized in over 80 medical conditions such as Leukemia, Myeloma, Lymphoma, Neuroblastoma, Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease, to name a few.

Always Young Stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue are more youthful and have lower rejections than those from the bone marrow. They therefore provide better treatment outcomes.

PowerhouseResearch now shows that Mesenchymal stem cells offer significant promise to repair organs and tissues. The potential of these cells is now being investigated worldwide in over 100 clinical trials for treatment in conditions like heart disease, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes (type 1).

A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity Preserving your baby’s umbilical cord stem cells at birth is a beautiful once in a lifetime opportunity. There is no better way to extend lifelong care for your baby than by preserving her stem cells.

How To Get Started

Stem Cell Therapy BeneficiariesShare Their Success Stories Lifesavers Take Centre Stage

When Lisa Ray, the renowned actor, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma – a rare and incurable form of blood cancer, she underwent stem cell therapy. Lisa’s wise and timely decision to rely on stem cell transplant to cure the disease gave her a second chance at life. Declared cancer-free, the actor who is proud to call herself a “Cancer Graduate”, is back to leading a full life and is pursuing her career successfully.

Sibling Love For A Lifetime!

Thamirabarani, an 8-year old from Coimbatore, was found to be suffering from Thalassemia, a blood disorder. The cure for her came in the form of her younger brother Pugazhendi. When the younger sibling was born, his cord blood was collected and preserved at LifeCell and used for Thamirabarani’s treatment. She is now completely cured of Thalassemia and has embraced childhood in all its glory. She wants to grow up and become a teacher!

Living A Renewed Life

Vigneswaran was diagnosed with blood cancer when he was in Class XI. As the disease was in advanced stage, he could not use his own adult stem cells. He approached the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore and was treated using donor umbilical cord stem cells from Australia. Two years later, he was declared cancer free. Vigneswaran was born on February 28 and has changed his birthday to January 18, the day when he underwent the therapy.
