CORDLIFE makes a push into China with cord-tissue banking service:
In cord blood banking, stem cells from the cord blood are preserved for possible use in future to treat blood-related disorders such as leukaemia.
On the other hand, stem cells from cord tissue potentially can treat a different and wider set of afflictions, as explained in the section below:
What diseases can be cured?
As research is ever on-going and new discoveries are made ever so often, the renewable and replacement properties of stem cells hold the possibilities of treating a myriad of diseases, conditions, and disabilities including:
• Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases
• Spinal cord injury
• Stroke
• Burns
• Heart diseases
• Diabetes
• Osteo-arthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Cancers
What is the difference between cord blood and bone marrow stem cells versus cord lining stem cells?
Cord blood and bone marrow stem cells form hematopoietic stem cells which forms all the blood cells in the body.
These stem cells have the potential to treat blood-related disorders. Cord lining stem cells have the ability to obtain both mesenchymal and epithelial stem cells.
These cells have the potential to forms all cell types in the body, thus providing opportunities for treatment of many more disorders than hematopoietic stem cells.
Currently, cord lining stem cells can be expanded in number to form many more cells which is good for medical therapies while hematopoietic stem cells have limitations.
