What's All This Excitement About Cord Blood?

What's All This Excitement About Cord Blood?

Cord Blood Banking

Cord blood is the blood that is left behind in the umbilical cord and placenta after birth. It contains valuable hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that can be used in medical treatments to help treat over 80 life-threatening diseases and conditions such as leukemia, immune system disorders, blood cancers and more.

Banking these valuable cord blood stem cells ensures immediate access for your family when they are needed in the future.

Cord Tissue Banking

Cord tissue refers to the umbilical cord itself. Traditionally, it was discarded as medical waste after the baby is born. But now, we know that cord tissue is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

MSCs have different capabilities than the hematopoietic stem cells from cord blood. They can rapidly divide and regenerate a variety of different cell types in our bodies, like muscles, nerves and cartilage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Once cryopreserved, your baby’s stem cells will remain viable for a lifetime.

Yes! You can choose to delay cord clamping even if you bank cord blood and/or cord tissue. Delayed clamping will not significantly affect the yield of stem cells that you can harvest from the cord blood.
Cord blood is currently used to treat over 80 life-threatening diseases, including cancers, blood disorders and genetic diseases. See the full list here.

There is a high probability that your child’s cord blood stem cells can be used for siblings and other family members. Your child’s cord blood stem cells will be a perfect match to your child. However, it may also be very useful for other members of your family. There is a 25% chance that your child’s cord blood can be used for one of his/her siblings, and there is also a high chance that your child’s cord blood stem cells can be used for parents or grandparents.

With over 1000 clinical trials currently focusing on stem cells for treatment of diseases ranging from cancers to heart disease, the number of diseases treatable with stem cells will continue to rise during your child’s lifetime. Based on published data, a baby born today has an 87% chance of developing heart disease, osteoarthritis, diabetes, stroke or dementia in his/her lifetime.
Donating cord blood is the same as donating blood. You cannot ask for your baby’s cord blood back when you need it. Also, only a small number of donated cord blood units donated actually become banked and the majority become discarded.

Banking your baby’s valuable cord blood stem cells for private usage by your family guarantees that your child owns his/her cord blood stem cells. This ensures that these valuable cells are readily available over the lifetime of your child for usage by your child or family members whenever it is required.
