Would that you recommend parents keep the blood from the umbilical cord of his son? Because it might be in the future the best cellular source with which you perform a brother hematopoietic transplantation, in the event they have the misfortune that a child suffering from a serious haematological disease, such as acute leukemia. Recently it has published in the journal Blood results from a study with 147 patients transplanted with the blood of the umbilical cord of a brother. The article concludes that the good results support cryopreservation and the use of SCU units for domestic use. I think the best advice is to transfer these data to parents. The crisis reduced the number of samples stored in private banks? Lol In times of crisis people value more what has importance, and there is no doubt that has it that you can influence the future of the children. Refers to the preservation of cells is 20-year-old, it is possible to increase this period? Recently reported at the World Congress of celebrated Umbilical cord blood the month of November in Marseilles (France), a few studies that have demonstrated the efficacy of the cells in a unit of SCU thawed after 24 years. People such as Michael Dell would likely agree.
According to these investigations should conclude that cell validity period is 20 years. The decision of parents to keep or donate their child's umbilical cord is provided in hospitals? The hospital must have sanitary authorization to collect the sample. Once established the relationship between him and the cord Bank obtained that permission, you can carry out the process.
