Unique to Cells4Life

Nothing is more precious than your child’s health. That’s 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 treating 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 our unique CellsPlus processing method to deliver 3 times more stem cells at the point of therapy than other industry leading cord blood processing technologies*

It’s only available with Cells4Life.

      Jamie

      Cord blood changes lives

      The power of cord blood is already changing lives around the world. We have released 17 stem cell samples, including:

      Jamie, mum of two

      In 2018, Jamie’s beautiful boy received an intravenous cord blood infusion at Duke University Hospital to treat his autism. One year later, his mother says he has noticeably improved. “If, on an effort scale of 1 to 10, we spent 8 managing his autism before the stem cells, we now spend less than 3,” says Jamie. “To us that’s really something and it’s enough to have made a decision we took 10 years ago, totally worth it. “The way I saw it, the cost was less than £100 per year over 20 years and may be the equivalent of taking just one less family vacation in that whole time.

      Shilpa

      Cord blood changes lives

      The power of cord blood is already changing lives around the world. We have released 13 stem cell samples, including:

      Shilpa Shetty, mum of two

      In 2016, Cells4Life helped little Jay Shetty and his family raise funds so that he could travel to Duke University and take part in a pioneering cord blood clinical trial for cerebral palsy. Jay had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy after a traumatic birth and after researching potential treatment options, his parents came across umbilical cord blood banking. When Jay’s mother, Shilpa, fell pregnant with his little brother, they stored his umbilical cord blood with Cells4Life to give Jay access to a cord blood therapy. Treatment was a simple injection of his brother’s cord blood but gave fresh hope to the Shetty family. “His muscle rigidity has reduced and his vision’s improved,” says Shilpa. “We have definitely noticed a difference.”

      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. Early evidence from these clinical trials has shown that many currently untreatable conditions may one day, should these trials progress, be 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.
