Storing placental stem cells

Placental stem cells are a type of cell found in the placenta. Nowadays, many families choose to store placental stem cells after their children are born. This is mainly because placental stem cells have a wide range of uses. If they are preserved, they can be used to treat various diseases of the child in the future and ensure the child's healthy development. Below, we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about placental stem cells in detail!

1. Uses of Placental Stem Cells

As an ideal source of sub-totipotent stem cells, the placenta has shown its unique functions in the field of anti-aging and disease treatment. The types of diseases treated are as follows: cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; diabetes; liver and kidney damage; brain and spinal cord nerve damage; autoimmune diseases; graft-versus-host disease; co-transplantation with hematopoietic stem cells to treat blood diseases; fibrosis of the lungs and other tissues and organs

2. Storage Process

After the newborn is delivered and the placenta is separated from the uterus and discharged, the delivering doctor will collect the placenta as soon as possible according to the standard placenta collection procedures of the stem cell bank. It will then be placed in the specific device tools of the stem cell bank and transported to the stem cell bank within a specified time limit. Professional technicians will perform technical processes such as separation, extraction, culture, and testing of sub-totipotent stem cells until the final test results confirm whether the obtained stem cells have long-term preservation value.

III. Storage and Duration

The current internationally accepted stem cell preservation technology is to store the obtained stem cells in a deep cryogenic state of -196°C. Medical research and clinical practice have proven that cells preserved for more than a hundred years are still active. Stem cell preservation has a history of several decades, and the umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell bank is responsible for the activity of the stem cells stored in the stem cell bank during the contract period signed with the customer.

4. Security

The collection of the placenta is simple and easy and will not cause any discomfort or adverse effects to the mother and newborn. In the past, the placenta was usually discarded as waste, but extracting and preserving sub-totipotent stem cells from the placenta is a valuable way to regenerate life resources.

Data from the stem cell industry show that placental sub-totipotent stem cells are genetically stable and not prone to mutation. Animal experiments have proven that they are non-tumorigenic. They are safe and reliable to use, have good therapeutic effects on diseases within the indicated range, and are superior to traditional medical methods.
