Stem cells are the bodys master cells.

Stem cells that are found in bone marrow,peripheral blood, and cord blood arecalled Hematopoietic Stem Cells

These are building blocks of the bloodand immune systems.

Hematopoietic stem cells are AdultStem Cells and are not to be confusedwith Embryonic stem cells.

Cord blood that is taken from the umbilical

cord after the baby is born contains stemcells.

Cord blood stem cells can grow a completeimmune system of blood cells.

Cord blood is rich in stem cells that arenormal and free of malignancies.

A typical cord blood collection hassufficient numbers of stem cells forengraftment in most recipients weighingup to 110 lb.

Research for replicating stem cells, invitro, is successfully being done to expandthe volume.

Nearly 40 years ago, the first bone marrowtransplant offered new hope for patientswith leukemia.

Since 1990, stem cell transplants are more

prevalent than bone marrow transplantsbecause of ease of collection.

Today, umbilical cord blood, with its high

concentration of hematopoietic stem cells,brings these types of transplantations intothe 21st century.

Cord blood stem cells have been used to

treat more than 45 malignant and geneticdiseases. Leukemia is the most common.

Stored cord blood stem cells from a childis the perfect match for that child. Thisallows for an autologous transplant if

prevent engraftment from occurring.

Cord blood stem cells are a close matchfor siblings or family members in case ofneed, with low risk of GVHD.
