Researchers have found that stem cells remain in our body to maintain and repair our organs throughout life. Cord Blood contains blood forming Haematopoietic Stem Cells (“HSCs”) and the main use of these are in treatment of the following groups of diseases:
- Malignancies (Leukaemia, Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Solid Tumours)
- Anaemia (Fanconi’s Anaemia, Sickle Cell Disease, Thalassaemia)
- Bone Marrow Failures (Aplastic Anaemia, Pancytopaenia)
- Immunodeficiency (SCID, Kostmann Syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome,
Lymphoproliferative Disorder, Ataxia Telangiectasia, Di George Syndrome)
- Inborn Errors of Metabolism (Adrenoleukodystrophy, Gaucher’s Disease,
Krabbe Disease, Niemann-Pick Syndrome, Tay-Sachs Disease)

- Nearly 80 life-threatening diseases - from cancers to blood diseases to immune disorders - can use cord blood stem cells in treatment. |
