Stem Cells saved my life.

Thank you Stem Cells. They could save your baby’s life too.

We all wish a healthy and happy future for our children.

As responsible parents, all our efforts are directed

towards their health, wellness, happiness and whatever

good we can do for them.

Now you can gift your child a lifetime of good health

for the future by preserving their umbilical cord blood

& cord tissue stem cells at the time of birth. This is a unique

and precious investment that only you can gift your child.

You now hold the opportunity to provide your child

the birthright of life.

now the Umbilical Cord can save

your baby even after bir th

your baby comes with its own

natural power to cure diseases

Preserving your baby's cord blood & cord tissue stem cells is a

health security blanket for your child and immediate family members too.

The power of the umbilical cord

The umbilical cord connecting the baby with the mother

supports and nourishes the baby for 9 months in

the womb. This cord is cut at the time of delivery

and discarded as waste after the baby is born.

Breakthrough medical research has now shown that

the umbilical cord blood & cord tissue are one of the richest

sources of stem cells, which have a high potential

to treat over 75 serious ailments and many more critical

ailments in the future through stem cell therapy.

Most importantly, cord blood stem cells of your baby, apart

from being a perfect match for your child, also carry the

potential of 25% match for an existing or future sibling,

thus protecting the entire family from future ailments.

The amazing potential of stem cells

The importance of umbilical cord blood & cord tissue

Stem Cells are the basic building blocks of the body which

have the potential to develop into many different

cell types. Serving as a repair system for the body,

they can divide unlimitedly to replenish other cells and give

rise to number of tissues that constitute different organs.

Umbilical cord blood is the remaining blood from your baby's

umbilical cord and placenta after birth. The cord tissue

is the tissue constituting the umbilical cord after

removal of the cord blood. The umbilical cord blood

and cord tissue are loaded with stem cells which

can be used with greater eff iciency because they

are the original cells and retrieving them is non-invasive.

Umbilical cord blood & cord tissue stem cells can be

easily collected, processed and stored for future use

through the innovative concept of stem cell banking.

Research has found that the Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells, preserved at the time of birth,

have the potential to treat over 75 life threating ailments.

Exciting new research on a new type of stem cell called

‘mesenchymal stem cell’ has now enhanced the scope of

diseases that can potentially be treated with stem cell

therapy.

Mesenchymal stem cells are now at the forefront of cellular

therapy especially for a variety of lifestyle diseases with

over 100 clinical trials under way to evaluate their safety

and eff icacy. In fact, some trials evaluating the utility

of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are now in late

phase III clinical trials and with the FDA according

‘fast-track’ approval status for the same, the benef its

of this therapy should soon reach out to everyone.

It has now been found that these remarkable mesenchymal

stem cells are also found in the connective tissue of the

umbilical cord. These stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue

can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for

potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future.

These umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are a perfect

match for your baby and being fetal in nature appear to be

better than similar mesenchymal stem cells from bone

marrow. These umbilical cord t issue s tem cells

have been shown to multiply rapidly and differentiate

into many other types of stem cells such as neural,

cardiac, bone, fat, car tilage and possibly others.

Hence preserving the cord tissue stem cells along with

cord blood stem cells offer a complete cover for the

child from a wide range of blood related and tissue

degenerative ailments.

the Value of Cord Blood

Stem Cells over Bone Marrow

Until now bone marrow transplants were the standard

recommended medical procedure for treatment of

various life threatening ailments. With the emergence of

cord blood stem cell banking, it has been proven

beyond dispute that cord blood stem cells are the preferred

source of stem cells today for reasons stated below.

GVHD is a serious, life-threatening

immune response to blood transplants, which can be

fatal for up to 40% of patients who contract GVHD.

Since cord blood is more primitive and therefore more

'forgiving', the cells found in cord blood that make up

the recipient's new immune system are less likely to

attack the recipient's body. This means a lower

incidence of GVHD for cord blood transplants.

For a successful transplant, there is a list of

criteria that has to be matched. Since the cord blood stem

cells are younger, the HLA matching does not have to be

perfect. This means that a broader range of recipients can

be treated, may be within the family using cord blood

with lesser chances of the recipient getting GVHD.

Cord blood is found to

contain 10 times more stem cells than an equally sized

portion of bone marrow.

Since cord blood stem cells

are younger, they have better proliferative properties -

that is, they are able to regenerate more and faster than

bone marrow stem cells.

It is found that 75% of people requiring

stem cells do not have a matching relative and 70% of them

are unable to f ind a matching donor. Cord blood is a

readily available source of stem cells since the stored

cord blood is available at notice to be used for a transplant,

especially in the case of private cord blood banking.

purif ied mesenchymal precursor cells and thereby make

available these valuable stem cells for therapeutic use more

than once.

Mesenchymal stem

cells are now being used in over 100 clinical trials,

including two phase III clinical trials, both of which have

been fast-tracked by the FDA for commercialization.

Unlike other cell therapies these

cells are administered through a standard IV line like

many of the other drugs that are given to patients.

These stem cells are well tolerated, with no

patient mortality, no toxicity or any adverse side effects

reported, thus providing for large-scale clinical use.

the Value of Cord Tissues

Stem Cells over Bone Marrow

Scientif ic research with stem cells now provides clinicians

a potential stem cell therapeutic option in the form

of mesenchymal stem cells.

Cord tissue is a rich source of

Mesenchymal precursor cells capable of giving rise to

fat, cartilage, bone and skeletal muscle cells and thus

may potentially be used for regenerative stem cell therapy

in several disorders. The number of mesenchymal cells

found within the mononucleated cell population is higher

than bone marrow.

Mesenchymal stem cells

from the umbilical cord tissue are more proliferative;

hence larger numbers can be obtained on expansion

from small initial numbers.

Laboratory techniques are now well

developed, that allow obtaining unlimited numbers of

I was at the peak of my career when my body started sending quivering signals. I felt washed out and tired.

Thought the distressing signs were an overlap of stress. Thanks to my exciting work schedule, ignoring them was

a costly affair. Amidst work and travel to India I underwent a routine blood test and to my apathy, I was advised

a blood transfusion. I stopped travelling and on my return to Canada, life gives me a cold wind blow.

thank you Stem Cells

I’m here because of you

I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma - a rare incurable

form of blood cancer.

I refused to embrace distress, decided to f ight the dreaded

disease for my life with simple rules as my companions to

combat cancer.

The disease hijacked my life for long enough and then I

decided to take matters into my own hands. I embraced

stem cell transplant as an ultimate treatment option.

Today I proudly stand as the true testimony of how stem

cell therapy could be a boon to someone who has lost all

hopes of recovery. I am ecstatic about the new lease of life.

I had my stem cell transplant done in January 2010

and it’s really been a kind of rebirth.

It’s like being reborn from the inside out. It's a big

cleaning from the middle of your marrow and

spreading out. It is not only about curing the body

of the disease, but also about identifying and healing the

entire person, as cancer drastically affects one’s psychology.

Today I’m back in my career as exciting and blissful

as before. I owe this to stem cells which made this happen

and gave me a chance for a second life.

Thank you stem cells I am here only because of you.

Processing

Once the sample reaches the lab, an array of tests are

conducted on the maternal blood, cord blood &

cord tissue. Depending on the outcome of the tests

the sample may be quarantined or rejected. After testing,

the cord blood & cord tissue are taken into a state-of-art

clean room wherein sk illed technicians process

the samples using utmost care adhering to international

quality standards such as those prescribed by the AABB

(American Association of Blood Banks) and CAP (College of

American Pathologists).

In brief the stem cells from cord blood are harvested using a

red cell depletion method aided by a chemical called

"Hespan" which helps to remove most of the red blood cells.

The cord tissue is washed, minced, put into tissue culture for

extracting a pure mesenchymal stem cell population.

Once the stem cells are extracted a cryoprotectant

(DMSO) is added to the prior to freezing. Freezing is

accomplished using a "controlled-rate freezer", which

gradually freezes the cord blood over a period of

approximately one hour.

SAMPLE COLLECTED IN BLOOD BAG

Collection

Cord blood is collected from the umbilical cord

immediately after the baby's birth and is drawn into

the blood collection bag that comes in the kit.

The mother's blood will also be collected during this time

to be tested for certain infectious diseases as required

by regulations. The baby's cord blood and mother's blood

are then labeled and packaged in the kit box

provided. Once the umbilical cord blood is collected a

specif ied length of 10 to 25 cms of the umbilical cord is

cut and collected in the cord tissue collection containers.

Your obstetrician/gynaecologist or the hospital paramedical

staff can perform the collection. In case you require assistance

in the collection process you would have to inform us in

advance well before the expected date of delivery to enable

us to depute a paramedic staff for the collection. This collection

process is simple, safe, painless and harmless to both the

child and the mother. This procedure can be performed with

either vaginal or cesarean section deliveries and the entire

process takes less than 10 minutes after the baby is born.

Upon completion of collection, the cord blood & cord tissue

samples are packed in the collection kit box as per the

instruction provided and safely dispatched through

designated special courier service to LifeCell Laboratory.

Suff icient care is taken to ensure that the sample

reaches the lab well ahead of the stipulated time.

UMBILICAL CORD COLLECTION KIT

Stem Cell Banking

DRY SHIPPER USED FOR TRANSPORTING STEM CELLS

Retrieval

If the stored cord blood stem cells are required for

transplant, the client can retrieve the sample by submitting

a retrieval request from the transplant physician.

Necessary HLA typing test is done for the recipient

for ensuring a perfect match. The cells are then transported

in a special container called "Dry Shipper" for shipping

the frozen sample to the stem cell transplant center. The dry

shipper is f illed with liquid nitrogen to maintain the cord

blood stem cells at less than minus 150°C during transport.

Thawing of the sample is performed under strict guidelines to

ensure the highest viability of stem cells recovery after the thaw.

You are not required to pay for the stem cells while

retrieving the stored sample since it belongs to your baby.

However you would be required to bear the cost of shipping,

handling and service charges.

Storage

LifeCell uses special, compartmentalized cryo-bags to store

your baby's precious cord blood stem cells. The bag includes

a 20ml & 5ml portion, and three segments for testing.

The cord tissue stem cells are stored in 5ml cryo-vials, which

has an integrated segment for testing. The stem cell bags

and vials are overwrapped for added protection to avoid

cross-contamination. Then the bags and vials are housed in

protective cassettes and boxes and placed in liquid nitrogen

storage vessels for cryogenic preservation at minus 196°C.

Our storage conditions are closely monitored for

security and temperature. The facility is equipped with a

6000 Litre tank for maintaining continuous supply of liquid

nitrogen, and also has automatic kick-in of diesel

generators in case of power failure.

It is believed that stem cells can be successfully stored

for decades together in a cryo-preserved form.

A recent study of cord blood at Indiana University

demonstrated its viability after 15 years of cryogenic

storage. Moreover our technology partners Cryo-cell

International have s tored cord blood cells for

over 18 years. Until the child attains the legal age,

the parents, as the child's guardians have control over

the stem cells. Upon attaining the legal age the child

will possess the rights to his/her stem cells.

Umbilical cord stem cell banking is an essential aspect for every child since every parent holds the

responsibility of securing their child's health for the future. I have benef itted by getting myself

completely cured by this revolutionary concept of umbilical cord blood stem cell

banking and I insist that every parent should consider in the future interest of

their child.

Stem Cell Success Story

The f irst successful cord blood stem cell transplant was

performed in 1988 in Paris, France. To date, more than 14,000

cord blood stem cell transplants have been performed

worldwide. Stem cell therapy using umbilical cord blood has

gained signif icant importance. It has been proved that stem

cell therapy is probably the only treatment available for

diseases like leukemia (blood cancer), thalassemia, cerebral

palsy, juvenile diabetes etc., and with advancing research and

clinical trials conducted worldwide the proof of treating more

diseases using cord blood stem cells is increasing every day.

We at LifeCell take pride in being a part of the surviving

story of Thamirabharani, the eight-year old girl who fought

her way for life through stem cell therapy. It gives us

extreme satisfaction and delight for securing and saving

the life of Thamirabharani by preserving her brother's

umbilical cord blood stem cells with us, a crucial decision

their parents took, which had ultimately saved her life.
