WHAT IS THE PURPOSES OF STORING STEM CELLS?
Why should we store stem cells? Currently, umbilical cord blood storage has been proven to effectively support the treatment of mor¬e than 85 serious diseases. Therefore, storing stem cells from umbilical cord blood becomes a lifelong biological insurance for your babies.
NEWBORN UMBILICAL CORD CONTAINS MANY TYPES OF VALUABLE STEM CELLS
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC)
Refer to cells isolated from umbilical cord blood, differentiated into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets capable of curing dangerous diseases of the hematopoietic system including blood cancer, marrow failure, severe immunodeficiency disorders, thalassemia, leukemia, lymphoma, etc.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
Refer to cells separated from the umbilical cord, differentiated into tissues and organs in the body such as liver, heart, muscle, cartilage, capable of curing degenerative and immune diseases including osteoarthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart failure, cirrhosis, anti-aging infusion, hormonal balance to improve quality of life, etc.
Epithelial Stem Cells (EpSCs)
A type of stem cell found in the umbilical cord membrane. EpSCs form the soft tissues that connect, support, or surround the body’s organs including the cornea, skin, and liver. This type of cell is capable of treating skin lesions, ocular surface disorders and persistent epithelial defects of the eye.
APPLICATION IN TREATMENT OF OVER 85 TYPES OF DISEASES

PROTECT THE HEALTH
OF ALL FAMILY MEMBERS
✓ Family members (grandparents, parents, siblings) can use your child's stem cells. This ability depends on the type of stem cell (hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells), the tissue compatibility between the patient and your child, etc.
✓ In order to exactly know this ability, more specific tests should be performed at the time when there is a need to use stem cells for treatment.
TIMELY AVAILABILITY
TIME SAVING
✓ We normally need a necessary amount of stem cells only when we suffer from a disease, but whether the number of stem cells we need will be timely available to treat/cure the disease.
✓ Storing umbilical cord stem cells at Cryoviva Vietnam is a way to promptly satisfy the required number of stem cells, thereby saving time on finding suitable and quality stem cells.
LIFETIME HEALTH PROTECTION
Stem cells can be stored for a long period of time for future use. Therefore, storing umbilical cord blood stem cells is considered as a kind of life-long biological insurance, a measure to ensure the future health of your children and the whole family.
