15 CORD BLOOD STEM CELLS - SAVE TODAY, PROTECT TOMORROW Stem Cells are precious because they have the ability to develop into different kinds of cells within the human body. This unique process of SPECIALISATION is what builds our complex organism. Some of these Stem Cells remain in our body as a "reserve" and play a key role in REGENERATION in the case of damaged or aged tissue. These important Stem Cells, can be found in the Umbilical Cord Blood and Umbilical Cord Tissue. They have great and effective ability to produce different human tissues. Furhermore, Stem Cells from the Umbilical Cord Blood have numerous advantages: they are the youngest and most effective Haematopoietic Stem Cells that can be found in the human body and relatively unaffected by diseases and genetic mutations accumulating throughout lifetime. Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells are called Haematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). Umbilical Cord Tissue Stem Cells are called Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). STEM CELLS LIFE'S BUILDING BLOCKS STEM CELLS TREMENDOUSLY SMALL & INCREDIBLY POWERFUL REGENERATION OF TISSUES, ORGANS & FUNCTIONALITY SPECIALISATION SELF- RENEWAL WHAT IS... Autologous: For own use Allogeneic: A transplant where the donated stem cells comes from a different individual (possibly related)
