A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
| Umbilical cord blood stem cells are collected at the moment the umbilical cord between the mother and child is cut. The collection is easy, over in a few minutes and completely harmless to both the mother and child. It does not affect natural sequences of a birth at all and in contrast to the collection of adult stem cells, no invasive procedure is needed. | | Following birth, as we begin to grow, the stem cell groups once found in the umbilical cord blood start to change. Therefore, the time of birth is a one time opportunity to harvest these unique cells. Cryopreservation allows storing them for future use.
