Stem cell banking gives your child access to a huge range of emerging stem cell therapies that may otherwise be unavailable to them.\u00a0 The idea is that as they age their perfectly matched, banked stem cells are ready and waiting to repair damaged tissue, for example regenerating cartilage if they suffer from arthritis, or treat debilitating and ultimately terminal age related conditions such as Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In this article we look at some of 2021\u2019s cornerstone developments in the field of stem cell therapy and advances in stem cell banking technology, so that you stay up to date on what your child\u2019s stem cells can do for them and your family.<\/p>\n

Spinal cord injuries repaired in patients using their own stem cells<\/h4>\n
Spinal cord injuries repaired in patients using their own stem cellsResearchers prepared stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow and cultured the cells in the lab for two weeks. After the cells had been expanded, each patient received intravenous injections of their own stem cells, opening up an exciting avenue for spinal cord repair.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Banked umbilical cord stem cells may provide an even better source for this therapy, as they are younger, and therefore more potent, and would also negate the need for invasive bone marrow extraction.\u00a0<\/div>\n

Mesenchymal stem cells as potential treatment for bradykinesia.<\/h4>\n
A company in the US has concluded treating their first group pf Patients in a Phase-1 clinical trial evaluating the use of umbilical cord derived stem cells as a potential therapy for bradykinesia, a disease closely linked to Parkinsons. Bradykinesia is thought to have an inflammatory element, so it is hoped that cells from the umbilical cord will modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This study is recruiting 15 patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease, ages 55 or older, who have been experiencing bradykinesia for at least three months before enrolment.<\/div>\n

Treatment for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants shows promising results.<\/h4>\n

A Phase II trial investigating the use of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to treat bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants has shown promising initial results, giving way to a larger Phase II study. This wider study will focusing on a subset of babies born at 23 to 24 weeks, who look to be the group that have benefitted from the therapy.<\/p>\n

A comparison of TotiCyte against other stem cell banking technologies was published in the Journal of Stem Cells Research, Development and Therapy<\/h4>\n

TotiCyte is the technology that powers our CellsPlus stem cell banking service. This publication is a head-to-head comparison of TotiCyte against the other cord blood processing methods currently available in the UK. The paper, which was subject to peer-review prior to publication, shows that cord blood units processed using TotiCyte contain between 2.2 and 3 times more stem cells at the point of therapy than other available systems.<\/p>\n
