Why Bank Cord Tissue?

Store Today, Protect Tomorrow

In addition to cord blood banking, you now have the opportunity to bank stem cells from your baby’s umbilical cord tissue.

Cord tissue is a source of many cell types, including Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), the cells that show considerable promise in the field of Regenerative Medicine. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that Regenerative Medicine is a revolutionary approach that focuses on curing conditions as opposed to treating them. Regenerative Medicine has the potential to regenerate damaged tissues and organs by stimulating the body to heal itself. Trials are under way using MSCs to treat debilitating conditions such as autism, brain injury (including stroke), burn wounds, heart disease, lung injury, liver disease, and sports injury.
