Stem cell

A stem cell is a cell with the unique ability to develop into specialised cell types in the body. In the future they may be used to replace cells and tissues that have been damaged or lost due to disease.

UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD (UCB) DERIVED STEM CELLS

The growth of a fetus while in the uterus requires nutrients, oxygen and removal of waste substances. These essential substances pass from the mother's blood to the fetus blood through the placenta which grows in the wall of uterus and connects mother and developing fetus through the umbilical cord. The blood found within the umbilical cord is the baby's, not the mother's and it is a rich source of stem cells genetically unique to the baby. Routinely, after a baby is born, umbilical cord is discarded with the placenta. The UCB collection poses no health risk to either the mother or the baby, and it is a painless and non-invasive procedure that does not change the birth process.

PROCESS OF SAVING CORDBLOOD :

Ewing’s Sarcoma

Plasma Cell Leukemia

Multiple Myeloma

Neuroblastoma

Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia

Retinoblastoma

Medulloblastoma

Cryopreservation

Cryopreservation is a process that preserves organelles, cells, tissues, or any other biological constructs by cooling the samples to very low temperatures. The responses of living cells to ice formation are of theoretical interest and practical relevance. Stem cells and other viable tissues, which have great potential for use in basic research as well as for many medical applications

Rh typing:

        The ABO system, the Rh (Rhesus) blood group system is regarded as the second most important blood group system, as some of the severe hemolytic transfusion reactions and most hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) cases are associated with antibodies to the Rh group antigens.

The Rh system consists of over 50 red cell antigens. There are five main Rh red cell antigens—D, C, c, E, and e—that involve most clinically significant transfusion complications.
