Cells4Life stores more UK stem cell samples than any other private bank. We are a science-led organisation dedicated to delivering the best stem cell storage service in the world. It contains billions of powerful stem cells, which already form therapy for more than 80 conditions worldwide, such as immune disorders and blood cancers. These stem cells are central to promising clinical trials for some of today’s most debilitating conditions – from cancer to diabetes, cerebral palsy to arthritis. In the moments after birth, you have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save your baby’s umbilical cord blood for future therapeutic use. As the UK’s largest cord blood bank, Cells4Life helps parents to make the most of this opportunity. We were founded in 2002 by a group of leading doctors and scientists to offer stem cell collection and storage in the United Kingdom. Initially, these doctors and scientists sought to store their own children’s umbilical cord tissue and blood for future use. Now, 18 years later, we have expanded to store more than 140,000 samples for customers in over 54 countries. In January 2020, we also became the UK’s first stem cell storage bank to offer placenta banking, meaning you can choose to store cells from the placenta and cord blood to maximise the therapeutic possibilities of your baby’s sample. Cells and tissue from the placenta have been used since the early 20th century to treat burns and wounds. Now, clinical trials are investigating its use in therapies for conditions such as Crohn’s disease, diabetes, blindness, and many more. We are the UK’s largest cord blood bank and also the most experienced, having been established for more than 18 years. We have already released 13 samples, two of which have been used to treat autism and cerebral palsy. Everything we do is designed to ensure you can make the most of your child’s cord blood. That is why we also introduced our exclusive TotiCyte cord blood processing technology in 2017. With TotiCyte, we are able to preserve three times more stem cells than the industry standard AXP processing method, which powers our Cells service. Initial results from hundreds of clinical trials using cord blood stem cells have been positive and shown that they could help your child to live a longer, healthier life. They could regrow organs, treat diseases and disorders, and repair damaged tissue. Make sure your child doesn’t miss out on the future of medicine.
