Medical advancements worldwide have put forward a promising future of stem cells to cure major ailments. Stem cell treatment had shown significant and positive results recently when paralytic people gained partial motor skills after going through stem cell therapy. This treatment has proved to be a groundbreaking invention and a beacon of hope for lakhs of patients suffering from disorders and ailments.
What Are Stem Cells?
From muscle cells to brain cells, stem cells can develop into wide-ranging types of cells in the human body. These life-saving cells are the only cell type in the body that can generate new cell types naturally.
What Is Stem Cell Treatment?
In simple words, stem cell therapy works like organ transplantation; the only difference is that cells are transplanted from one person’s body to another instead of organs. Therefore, stem cell treatment is also known as regenerative medicine. Stem cells are grown in a lab and are also present in umbilical cord blood, transforming into specific types of cells. These specialized cells are then implanted into the person with a disorder.
Disorders That Can Be Treated by Baby’s Stem Cells
Through stem cell banking or cord blood banking, stem cells are extracted from the baby’s umbilical cord and stored for future use. While stem cells can also be collected from bone marrow, the umbilical cord fluid consists of 10 times more stem cells. Through advanced research, stem cell therapy has been found to cure life-threatening disorders, such as the ones mentioned below.
- Blood Cancers
Stem cell therapy has shown miraculous results in treating cancer patients. Healthy stem cells are replaced with bone marrow cells destroyed by cancer or chemo and radiation used to treat cancer.
- Genetic Diseases
Genetic diseases such as immunodeficiency disease, Duncan’s disease, or adenosine deaminase deficiency can be treated through stem cell banking. Stem cell therapy regenerates and repairs tissues damaged or affected by genetic disease.
- Metabolic and Immune Disorders
Recent research has shown that stem cell banking can cure several metabolic and immune disorders like Gaucher’s disease, Hurler’s syndrome, Krabbe’s disease, etc. Undergoing stem cell transplantation becomes important before the disease becomes advanced.
- Sickle Cell Anemia
Antibiotics and pain relievers can help treat the symptoms of sickle cell anemia, but stem cell therapy is the only permanent cure.
- Solid Tumors
Several high-risk tumors can be treated by umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation, which allows escalation of chemotherapy dose, thereby helping in curing solid tumors.
Wrapping Up
Stem cells are life-saving, offering cures for even major life-threatening disorders. That is why stem cell treatment in India is gaining popularity. Cryoviva Biotech Private Limited resolves to provide high-quality umbilical cord blood stem cell processing and storage for private and public donation purposes. Understanding the care and intricacies of the blood therapy processes, we follow the “closed bag” collection method for harvesting cord blood stem cells. It helps reduce the possibility of contamination of cord blood and uses technology accredited by US/FDA & AABB and other global certifications. Check us out today!
