Future Potential



Umbilical cord blood stem cells have been used successfully for various blood disorders and cancers since 1988. The area of stem cells research is expanding dramatically and is one of the most exciting fields of medicine in the 21st century. Current research has shown that these cells can potentially be used to treat spinal cord injuries (regeneration of neural tissue) and heart disease (regeneration of myocardial muscle cells). Although these potential treatment options are presently still in the research stage, we at CRYOVIVA strongly believe that the application of these technologies will be in routine clinical practice in the future.


A large part of your commitment to storing your child's stem cells is centered on research-based medicine. Yet, all the evidence collected to date, suggests that stem cells therapies will be the basis of routine clinical practice for years to come.

The Future Potential

The uses for umbilical cord blood seem endless.Scientists are predicting in the near future the collection of cord blood at birth will be nearly as common as birth itself.Research indicates that stem cells someday will be used to treat numerous other diseases including but not limited to the following;

  • Ischaemic Heart & Chronic Heart Failure
  • Diabetes
  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Liver diseas
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Stroke
  • Parkinsonism
  • Autism
  • Lupus
  • Regenerative medicine[cartilage regeneration]
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Breast cancer
  • Depression
  • Burns
  • Diabetic Ulcer
  • Wound & Bone repair
  • Hoarseness of Voice
  • Baldness
  • Blindness

Even gene therapy research involving modification of autologus cord blood stem cells for the treatment of childhood genetic disorders although experimental at the present time may prove to be of value.

Why Store Stem Cells

  • You only get one chance at the time of the birth of your baby.
  • Your baby's cord blood could save the life of your baby as well a family member in need.
  • The possibility of medical advancement relies on cord blood stem cells .The cord blood stem cells that are stored today may become even more beneficial in the future with research constantly under way to find new medical uses including heart diseases, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes etc..
  • Each year thousands of adults and children are in serious need of a life saving transplant.
  • Privately banked cord blood will provide your baby with a perfect match for potential stem cells transplants.
