Storing cord blood stem cells!

Recently I just found out cord blood stem cells storage is available in Malaysia (actually it's been there since year 2007 lol), long time ago I have heard about cord blood stem cells thingy but I never expected Malaysia to have such technology to store stem cells (sorry to say that because Malaysia is always slower than other countries in terms of technology development) Anyway, the recent news show that Datuk Dr Sheikh (Malaysian 1st astronaut!) and his wife Datuk Dr Halina are expecting their first child soon! They said they gonna store their baby's stem cells with CellSafe International, they also said : "WE CHOOSE CELLSAFE BECAUSE WE WANT NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR OUR CHILD" 


So what are cord blood stem cells? Cord blood stem cells can be found only in the umbilical cord & the placenta of a baby at birth, the cells are capable to grow and expand into many different body cells. What can stem cells do for us? They can replace damaged cells & tissues, hence they are able to treat over 75 blood related diseases / other disorders. When you store the cord blood stem cells of your baby, you are actually getting a bio-insurance for your whole family (your baby has 100% chance to use the cord blood stem cells, while the rest of the family members like siblings are having high chances; parents are having moderate chances, whileirelatives are having lower chances compare to direct family members). Cord blood stem cells have been used to treat various diseases, they are transplanted to regenerate & rebuild blood and immune system.

The diseases that stem cells could treat:

So, how the stem cells are being collected?

1) baby's umbilical cord is clamped and severed

2) cord blood is harvested into a special collection bag

3) contact CellSafe Hotline for delivery to the lab

4) cord blood is analysed and extracted for stem cells

5) cryobag packed with stem cells stored under liquid nitrogen conditions (-196degree celcius)

CellSafe using Sepax technology in Malaysia. Sepax (Swiss technology) is trusted by most cord blood banks in the world. Your stem cells are safe with CellSafe haha!
