Benefits of Stem Cells
2
What is Stem Cells ?
Stem cells are cells that can differentiate into
other types of cells, and can also divide in
self-renewal to produce more of the same type of
stem cells.

Benefits of Saving Stem Cells
  • A guaranteed match for autologous transplants
    (where the donor and recipient are the same
    individual). may need a hematopoietic stem cell
    (HSCs) transplant by the age of 70.
  • A Readily Available Supply of Stored
    Haematopoietic Stem Cells.
  • Lower risk of Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD) for
    autologous transplants.
  • Ease of collection, which is pain-free and
    risk-free to both mother and child.
  • Umbilical cord blood stem cells are younger and
    more primitive.
  • 1 in 217 chances of using stem cells for
    treatment in a lifetime
