Your baby's umbilical cord is made up of tissue and contains blood. Both cord blood and cord tissue are rich sources of powerful stem cells being researched for their ability to act like our body’s own personal repair kit and may be able to help our bodies heal in new ways. Plus, cord blood stem cells are currently used in transplant medicine to regenerate healthy blood and immune systems.

Did you know that your newborn has pristine cells right at birth? As your body ages, so do your stem cells. Collecting and preserving newborn stem cells at birth when they are still brand new protects them from aging and reduces the risk of exposure to harmful environmental factors.

Today is World Cord Blood Day!🎉
In 1988, the first cord blood stem cell transplant was performed by Dr. Eliane Gluckman in France. It saved a young boy's life who was fighting Fanconi Anemia. World Cord Blood Day started from a need to expand cord blood education globally.

Discover the far-reaching benefits of preserving cord blood today. Incredibly valuable from day one, the once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing potential of cord blood cells increases every year as researchers discover ground-breaking, new medical treatments aimed at improving the health of your entire family. Some of our favourite benefits:

💚 Baby is a 100% match to their own stem cells, full siblings have a 75% chance of being at least a partial match, and parents are a 50% match. It's a win-win-win!
💚 Cord blood stem cells can already help treat over 80 known conditions today, like certain cancers, blood, metabolic, and immune disorders.
💚 Hundreds of clinical trials have been initiated using stem cells from cord blood and cord tissue as a potential treatment for conditions like cerebral palsy, heart defects, and Alzheimer's disease.

You can rest easy knowing that we are Canada’s Cord Blood EXPERTS since 1997 and we are among the oldest and most established Cord Blood and Tissue Banks in Canada. What are your favourite reasons and benefits for preserving?

Cells For Life recommends storing for each and every child if possible.

Storing for each child gives peace of mind that you have a perfect match for each child and also gives the potential for multiple transplants, should the need arise in the future.

Full biological siblings have a 25% chance of being a perfect HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigens) match and an added 50% chance of being a transplantable match. There is still a 25% chance that the cord blood stem cells will not match another sibling, so for that reason it is best to store cord blood for each child.

Brodie Munz was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months old. His symptoms were limited movement in his left side and development delays. Ben and Brenda, Brodie’s parents, chose to collect his newborn sister Zoey’s cord blood through Cell Care’s sibling collection program. Brodie was one of the cord blood infusion recipients in the MCRI Phase I trial in Melbourne. His treatment took place in December 2018.

Since the cord blood transfusion, Brenda and Ben have reported notable improvements in Brodie’s condition, including increased movement and strength in his left arm. Three years later Brodie continues to kick goals as we revisit the family in this update by Sky News Australia.

Cell Care is proud to support the Australian Cerebral Palsy trial, giving families access to participate through sponsorship, and our CP sibling program.

See Brodie’s remarkable progress in this video 💛

Cells for Life mom, Jessica, says “We have had two fantastic experiences with your company and feel well-informed and was always kept up to date. Our first baby had a rare genetic condition called neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and was born with 9 thousand platelets. Although this was caught in hospital, often it is missed causing catastrophic consequences. Your company actually also discovered his low platelets and called to inform us within a couple days of his birth. If we had a home birth or midwife, this could have saved his life. We are forever grateful for this. Having a husband with MS, we also feel positive for the future and possibilities cord and tissue banking could offer our family.” 💙

Cells for life is excited to now offer lifetime storage plans.

VIability studies continue to show cord blood stem cells remain viable for many decades. As long as they are cryogenically stored in their ideal and original conditions, these stem cells are expected to maintain functionality irrespective of time in storage.

🩸A baby's umbilical cord blood is rich in powerful stem cells
🩸Cryogenically-stored newborn stem cells maintain viability for potential use for decades
🩸Cord blood has now been used in the treatment of over 80 conditions. There have been more than 40,000 cord blood transplants worldwide
🩸Clinical trials are expanding the potential of newborn stem cells from cord blood and tissue into new applications; e.g., cerebral palsy, autism, stroke and type-1 diabetes
