only with Cells4Life
the UK’s largest cord blood bank
Nothing is more precious than your child’s health.
Which is why it is our mission to store every baby’s cord blood.
Number of cells is crucial – the more the better. More stem cells could mean the difference between only being able to treat a child or having enough cells to treat an adult, one treatment or multiple treatments, failure or success.
With this in mind, we have developed a unique processing method that preserves 3 times more stem cells than any other method.
And it’s only available with Cells4Life.

Jay’s little brother’s stem cells used to transform his life
Shilpa and Raj Shetty had just one wish when they stored their second baby’s stem cells with Cells4Life – changing the life of their first child, Jay.
Now, it looks like this wish could be about to come true…
Jay, who suffers from a debilitating form of cerebral palsy that means he cannot walk, talk, or even sit up unaided, has been selected for a pioneering clinical trial at Duke University. This trial, which has already demonstrated some transformational results, will use a transfusion of Jay’s brother’s cord blood stem cells to repair the damage to his brain and improve his quality of life. His mother hopes that the treatment may one day enable him to walk, run, and maybe even hug her for the very first time.
However to get to Duke and receive this therapy, Jay needs your help. His family need to raise over £100,000 to cover his travel costs and ongoing care – donate here.

A brief history of cord blood stem cells
Medicine has progressed beyond all recognition since stem cells were discovered in the late 1800s. The first stem cell transplant using bone marrow was performed in New York in 1950 and since then they have been used in over 1 million therapies to treat a vast range of diseases. Cord blood stem cells were introduced in therapy in 1988, when prominent American scientist Dr Hal Broxmeyer used cord blood to save the life of a five-year-old boy suffering from Fanconi Anaemia. In the last 30 years, cord blood has been used in transplant over 35,000 times11, treating more than 80 different conditions12; from leukaemia and lymphoma, to testicular cancer.

Looking to the future, stem cells are considered to be one of the three pillars of an exciting new field known as regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine looks to restore structure to damaged tissues and organs or, if they are broken beyond repair, create new versions as replacements. Stem cells are ideally suited to this purpose due to their capacity to differentiate into a large number of different cell types.
At present, scientists are conducting clinical trials investigating the application of cord blood stem cells to treat diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Ultimately, it is expected that many currently untreatable conditions will be cured or managed using stem cells from cord blood and cord tissue.
By storing your baby’s cord blood, you ensure that they are prepared for the future.
