IMMUNE CELL BANKING

Immune cell banking could be an insurance policy that helps cancer patients to access personalized immunotherapies like CAR-T therapy. Research suggests that starting CAR-T with better immune cells leads to better patient outcomes, but no study has compared the standard CAR-T protocols to therapies manufactured from previously banked

cells.

HAPLOIDENTICAL TRANSPLANTATION A haploidentical transplant (haplo) is a half matched stem cell transplant from a family member. Haplo donors can be parents, children, siblings, and sometimes cousins of the patient. A biologic parent or a biologic child is always a half match to the patient, based on genetics. A haplo transplant can be used when there is no matched sibling or unrelated donor. SOFIA’S STORY: CORD BLOOD RESCUE FROM DROWNING Sofia’s Story: Cord Blood Rescue from Drowning. The story of 13-year-old Sofia from the Khmelnytskyi Oblast province of Ukraine is rightfully considered a miracle. In 2009, little Sofia had not yet turned 3 years old. Her parents Aleksandr and Nadezhda were enjoying life with their daughter and were waiting for the birth of another

baby.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CORD TISSUE BANKING? Just like cord blood banking for the family, cord tissue banking is a form of biological insurance, where parents bank their baby’s stem cells for future therapies. The two main benefits of banking both cord blood and cord tissue are: (1) to have more stem cells from the same child and (2) to have different types of cells. There are a growing number of clinical trials wth ONCE WE HAVE STORED CORD BLOOD FOR OUR FAMILY, HOW LONG Indefinitely. From an economic perspective, it does not make sense to invest in the up-front processing fee and pay for years of annual storage, and then throw out the investment. That would be like buying life insurance and then cancelling it because you have not died yet. Especially given that the probability of some one in the immediate family needing a transplant increases WHAT IS YOUR PLACENTA WORTH? An accurate valuation of what your placenta is worth must include the following considerations: By AmnioChor's estimate, the AMP market, which is a significant contributor to placenta value today, will grow to over $600M in 2020. Although insurance reimbursement exists for many AMP products, at present these products are only sourced from THE USE OF UMBILICAL CORD STEM CELLS IN CHINA IS BOOMING The use of umbilical cord stem cells in China is booming.

THE KACEY ROSE FOUNDATION The idea of forming our Foundation came as a result of not knowing what to do with our emotions after we lost our beautiful daughter to a very rare form of Leukemia known as AML-M7. With the help of family and friends it was decided to honor Kacey's life by helping other families that are battling childhood cancer. During our daughter's 15 month fight, we witnessed many THE USE OF UMBILICAL CORD STEM CELLS IN CHINA IS BOOMING The use of umbilical cord stem cells in China is booming. Most scientists think of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC, or mesenchymal stem cells) as being associated with bone marrow or adipose tissue. However, new explorations of MSC derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC) promises abundance and great therapeutic value of these

cells.

STEM CELL THERAPIES FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES SUCH AS To date, most stem cell therapies for autoimmune diseases have been autologous stem cell transplants (AHSCT). Exciting results have been reported from clinical trials for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In most trials, roughly half of patients who receive AHSCT for MS see the disease progression stop.

Conceiving a savior child requires Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) that screens embryos to both exclude genetic diseases and include matching HLA types. To avoid a slippery slope into creating designer babies, the clinics that perform PGT should adhere to ethical 10 AMAZING FACTS ABOUT THE PLACENTA Small but mighty - Shaped like a parachute, the placenta is a highly specialized organ that helps support the development of your baby. The average placenta is 9 inches across, about 1 inch thick, and typically weighs just over 1 pound. Blood from both TOTICYTETM - THE NEXT GENERATION OF CORD BLOOD PROCESSING The most important factors in determining a successful stem cell transplant are human leukocyte antigen (HLA) match and number of living (viable) cells available for treatment. HLA is the finger print equivalent to see if the donor matches the patient. If they do not, then game over. However, if there is a good enough match, then 25 million total nucleated cells (TNC) per kg of bodyweight are EVERYTHING PARENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT STEM CELL THERAPY FOR Stem cell therapy for autism is an ongoing topic of research and is considered experimental by the medical community. Parents can find fee-for-service clinics that advertise stem cell therapy for autism, but most of these clinics are operating without FDA approval, and each clinic promotes their own approach, which creates a lot of confusion among parents about how to compare their treatment WORLD'S 1ST TRIAL OF AMNION STEM CELLS FOR PREMATURE BABIES World's 1st Trial of Amnion Stem Cells for Premature Babies.

The odds of using your baby's cord blood are the same as the probability that your baby or a close family member will have a disease that can be treated with cord blood. Family cord blood banks tell parents that there are 80 diseases for which stem cell transplants are a standard treatment. That is a true statement, but it

can be misleading.

THE KACEY ROSE FOUNDATION The idea of forming our Foundation came as a result of not knowing what to do with our emotions after we lost our beautiful daughter to a very rare form of Leukemia known as AML-M7. With the help of family and friends it was decided to honor Kacey's life by helping other families that are battling childhood cancer. During our daughter's 15 month fight, we witnessed many THE USE OF UMBILICAL CORD STEM CELLS IN CHINA IS BOOMING The use of umbilical cord stem cells in China is booming. Most scientists think of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC, or mesenchymal stem cells) as being associated with bone marrow or adipose tissue. However, new explorations of MSC derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC) promises abundance and great therapeutic value of these

cells.

STEM CELL THERAPIES FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES SUCH AS To date, most stem cell therapies for autoimmune diseases have been autologous stem cell transplants (AHSCT). Exciting results have been reported from clinical trials for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In most trials, roughly half of patients who receive AHSCT for MS see the disease progression stop. Transplant response is better for patients who have a shorter history of illness, UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD STEM CELL SCAMS: THEY'RE PULLING YOUR Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Scams: They're pulling your cord. September 2012. Doug Sipp. Doug Sipp is the founder. of the Stem Cell Treatment Monitor. Great hopes and anticipation have surrounded umbilical cord blood-derived cells since their first clinical use in the 1980s. They represent a relatively rich source of hematopoietic

stem cells

CRYO-CELL MÉXICO

Cryo-Cell México separates stem cells from your child's blood collection with the fully automated Sepax processing system from the Swiss company Biosafe.The Sepax system maintains a testing segment of cord blood integrally attached to the main storage bag, which serves as quality control and ensures that the storage conditions are the same in the testing segment and the whole sample. FAMILY CORD BLOOD BANKING IN SWITZERLAND Family cord blood banking means parents pay a private bank to store their baby’s cord blood so that they will have access to the stem cells in case of need. Many family cord blood banks store additional types of newborn stem cells, such as cord tissue. A family bank has a cord blood banking laboratory to provide this service.

PREGNANCY AND CORD BLOOD BANKING The third trimester of pregnancy is the time to learn about cord blood banking. The blood that remains in the umbilical cord after birth is rich in newborn stem cells, and additional stem cells can be found in the tissue of the umbilical cord and placenta. Once the baby is born, and even if cord clamping is delayed , it is possible to collect these cells and bank them in cryogenic storage. Parents have a choice between donating cord blood to a public bank for free, or paying a private bank to store it for their family.
