Saving your baby’s cord blood stem cells is an important investment in your family’s health. It’s an investment that will continue to grow as new treatments are showing significant promise every day.
When making the decision to store your child’s cord blood, you’ll need to balance the financial aspect with your own set of values, needs and wants. All of our clients were once in the same dilemma. But looking back, they are happy to have taken the right decision i.e. to store their baby’s priceless cord blood with
BabyCell.
CORD BLOOD BANKING
Cord blood is a rich source of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). Not only is it a valuable source of stem cells, but is also genetically unique to the baby and family. Cord blood offers unique advantages over bone marrow during transplantation.
Umbilical Cord blood bank is a facility that stores and preserves the stem cells derived from the umbilical cord of the new born baby. The first 5 minutes following birth, gives only one chance to collect and save
your newborn’s umbilical cord blood. This umbilical cord blood is an abundant source of stem cells. These
stem cells are the “Master” cells of the human body and carry the ability to create tissue, organs and organ
systems. Besides being able to divide indefinitely, they possess the ability to transform into specialized cells.
These stem cells are used to treat many life threatening diseases.
stem cell therapy
A stem cell therapy is a treatment that uses stem cells to replace, repair or regenerate a patient’s cells or tissues that are damaged. The stem cells might be put into the blood or transplanted into the damaged tissue directly or even recruited from the patient’s own tissues for self-repair.
umbilical cord blood
Umbilical cord is the connecting cord between the mother & the baby when the baby is in the womb. It carries oxygen & nutrients to the baby. Blood left in the umbilical cord & placenta after the baby is born is known as the “Umbilical Cord Blood”.
Why bank cord blood
Cord blood is a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Current research demonstrates presence of
stem cells with a potential to differentiate to heart, pancreas, nervous tissues etc
Expecting a baby
You will be made aware of the concept of stem cell banking by your own doctor. After which the relationship executive of BabyCell would counsel you and your family about the benefits of preserving your baby’s umbilical cord blood with BabyCell.

Stem Cell
Cells are the Master Cells of the body. They have a remarkable potential to develop into many different cell
types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal
repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as and when the need arises. When a
stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell
with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell or a brain cell.
Stem cell therapy
Given their unique regenerative abilities, stem cells offer new potentials for treating diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. This entire new field for cell-based therapies to treat disease, is also referred to as regenerative or reparative medicine.
Research on stem cells continues to advance knowledge about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. Stem cell research is one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary biology, with immense potential in the years to come.
Unlike most conventional treatments that treat symptoms, stem cell therapy focuses on correcting and/or replacing damaged or diseased cells.

Aryan Terrorism – In the Name of Our Aryan Blood
The American College of Medical Genetics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology have recently recommended that all couples of reproductive age who are attempting to conceive be offered pre-conceptual genetic testing. The purpose of this testing is to identify those couples who are carriers of a variety of conditions that could affect their children. Testing potential parents for genetic diseases is not a novel concept, but recent advances in technology have made testing simple, painless, and affordable.
“Carriers” of genetic diseases do not actually have the disorder themselves; rather one of their genes has a mutation, genetic change, associated with the disorder. The concern is that carriers can unknowingly pass this abnormal gene on to their children. The most common genetic disorders, such as Sickle Cell Anemia, Tay Sachs Disease, and Cystic Fibrosis are called “autosomal recessive” diseases. In order to actually have an autosomal recessive disease, a person needs to have inherited two abnormal genes, one from each parent.
In order to understand this concept, let’s look at Sickle Cell Anemia, a life threatening disease caused by abnormal hemoglobin. Each parent has 2 genes for hemoglobin – the important oxygen-carrying molecule in a red blood cell. All cells in the body – with the exception of sperm and eggs – carry 2 genes. Sperm and eggs carry only 1 of those 2 genes, and the one that they carry is determined at random. When fertilization occurs, the embryo gets one copy of the gene from each parent, i.e. one from the sperm and one from the egg. If each parent has two copies of the normal hemoglobin A gene, all of their sperm or eggs will be normal and their children will neither have Sickle Cell Disease nor will they be carriers. If one parent has one hemoglobin A gene and one hemoglobin S gene (the gene that causes Sickle Cell Anemia), each sperm or egg has a 50% chance of carrying the A gene and a 50% chance of carrying the S gene. Embryos that carry one S gene develop into children who are carriers. Therefore, in theory, 50% of children born to a carrier will be carriers for Sickle Cell disease.
If both parents are carriers, each embryo has a 25% chance of inheriting 2 A genes (i.e. those children will be normal), a 25% chance of inheriting 2 S genes (i.e. those children will have the disease), and a 50% chance of inheriting 1 A gene and 1 S gene (i.e. those children will be carriers).
Pre-conceptual testing is the only way to know if your children have an increased risk of inheriting a genetic disorder. Until recently, this could only be accomplished through the performance of individualized genetic tests, a very expensive and complicated process akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Due to tremendous advances in genetic science, two new types of genetic testing are now available. One involves the collection of saliva from each partner. Each sample can be screened for over 109 different autosomal recessive genetic disorders for a reasonable fee. If only one partner is found to carry the gene for an autosomal recessive disorder, there is no chance that the couple’s children can actually have the disease in question; the worst outcome possible would be that a child could be an asymptomatic carrier of the abnormal gene – just like the affected parent. The primary advantages of this particular test are that it is performed on saliva rather than blood, it screens for a large number of diseases very efficiently, and it is relatively inexpensive.
The other type of test actually looks at pieces of genes, rather than whole genes or chromosomes. Through the testing of tissue obtained from either a cheek swab or blood from each partner, 200,000-300,000 small DNA fragments representing pieces of each known gene can be evaluated. When an embryo is produced from in vitro fertilization, the DNA from each embryo can be evaluated and matched to the samples from the parents. Not only can this testing determine whether each embryo has the normal number of chromosomes, but in addition the source of any identified genetic abnormality can be accurately identified. In other words, in the event that an embryo turns out to be chromosomally abnormal, this testing can determine whether the abnormality came from the egg or from the sperm. This is very helpful in cases of recurrent miscarriage or in cases of repetitive in vitro fertilization failure when couples are struggling to determine whether they should continue to proceed with treatment using their own gametes or whether they should consider using either donor sperm or donor oocytes.
These two exciting new technologies represent a major advance in the field of genetics and offer our patients even greater hope for achieving their dream of a healthy family.

Is foot and mouth disease tranferable to humans?
Is it a zoonotic disease?
Children and infants can get a virus often called hand foot and mouth disease or coxsackievirus. Animals can get a virus call hoof and mouth disease but the two aren’t transferred from humans to animals and animals to humans.
