Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Collections
Stem Cells are Cells For Life Assurance
At Noviche BioScience we provide parents-to-be with access to the most reputable and responsible blood and tissue banks in the UK and using our extensive network of phlebotomists we collect cord blood stem cells from any location in the UK. Stem cells offer a living health insurance against possible future illness and disease and storing your baby's stem cells can provide a real lifeline in the event of them falling seriously ill. If you are considering storing your baby's stem cells the first thing to do is to contact a company offering the service for advice.
Privately run tissue and blood banks have been operating for decades in the US and in some states it is law to inform new parents about this potentially life-saving facility. Unfortunately in the UK we are some way behind not only the US, but many of the world's developing societies in terms of cord bloood stem cell storage. At Noviche BioScience we specialize in harvesting stem cells from the umbilical cord of newborns at no risk whatsoever to mum or baby. When you've decided on your blood/tissue bank provider.....
Stem Cells for Treatment and Cure
Stem cells have the remarkable ability to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing without limit to replenish other cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
Stem cell treatments introduce new cells into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury. Stem cell treatments have the potential to change the face of human disease and alleviate suffering. The ability of stem cells to self-renew and give rise to subsequent generations offers significant potential for the generation of tissues that can replace diseased and damaged areas in the body.
Effective stem cell treatments are already established, particularly transplants used to treat leukemia but researchers anticipate the use of technologies derived from stem cell research to treat a wide variety of diseases including cancer, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, heart damage, baldness, deafness, diabetes, infertility, neural and behavioural birth defects, and literally hundreds of other impairments and conditions.
Prices vary for stem cell storage but parents can expect to pay between £900-£1,500 to have their baby's stem cells prepared, frozen and stored for up to 30 years under strict, regulated laboratory conditions. If your child (or sibling or parent) falls ill, their stem cells can be thawed and reused for treatment and cure.
Stem Cells Research; The Ethical Stance
Morally, there are no grounds for concern about stem cell extraction and storage from the umbilical cord. Stem cell treatment is the key that unlocks cures for serious, life-threatening diseases. Stem cell treatment is in no way, shape or form associated with embryonic cloning or similar research as is a commonly-held, misguided view.
Umbilical cord-blood stem cell transplants are increasingly being used as the prefered source for conditions such as leukaemia and thalassemia. Evidence shows that umbilical cord blood stem-cell transplants are effective, result in fewer complications, reduce occurrences of graft-versus-host syndrome, and importantly, they are more readily available. And because our process collects stem cells from ordinary umbilical cords, ethical considerations related to other sources of stem cells are avoided.
