There would be no single mother who does not pray for the good health of her child. Nowadays, medical science has provided present mothers with a valuable chance to decide their child’s future. It has been possible only because of the stem cells which can cure several diseases. These stem cells were however were extracted from the embryos and adult tissues in the past. However, due to many controversies associated with their use, scientists have kept looking for other resources as well.

This is the reason that the medical experts all around the world are inspiring families for the <b style=""><a href="http://digg.com/cryocells">umbilical cord blood donation</a></b>. There are two types of banks where one can donate the cord blood. These are –private banks and public cord blood banks. Private Banks are expensive and allow the families to store cord blood and make it available when required for their child and family. On the other hand, public banks are available for general use where there is no privacy but these charge reasonable prices. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Nowadays, there are rising concerns for the companies that offer couples private storage facility. The ethics and uses of <b style=""><a href="http://www.cryo-cell.com/services/private_vs_public.asp">private cord blood banking</a></b> have been questioned.

This group of graduate students has actually made a system that will boost the stem cell collection process from the umbilical cord and placenta of a new born. This invention is called to be a major step to treat diseases like leukemia and many other blood diseases. The model is however still in the testing phase but the results obtained in the beginning are very promising. These inventors have already formed a company and have received a patent to protect the technology. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">As the need of such techniques is huge, so it will be soon used in many maternity units in the hospitals. Cord blood is a rich store of stem cells. Still ninety percent of them remain uncollected and thus are discarded. One of the chief reasons behind this is the lack of proper collection methods. This invention has been named as CBx system.

Umbilical cord that acts as a link between mother’s womb and child has been tracked to show the presence of stem cells. After the delivery of a woman, the umbilical cord is clamped and stem cells present there are harvested. These cells then multiply into other cells and cure diseases related to leukemia, lymphoma and some immune disorders. After <b style=""><a href="http://digg.com/cryocells">cord blood donation</a></b> and bone marrow of the recipients and the donors are matched. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The medical director of National Marrow Donor Program’s Transplant Medical Services, Dr. Willis Navarro says that cord blood banking is not done on a general basis.

Cord blood is in fact what remains in placenta vessels and a part of umbilical cord still remains connected to this even after the delivery.

Earlier a huge portion of the baby cord was used to be discarded and remaining part was used to dry off. Now as it has been understood that the <b style=""><a href="http://www.cryo-cell.com/services/about_stemcells.asp">umbilical cord blood stem cells</a></b> are highly effective as well as useful to cure several severe diseases, doctors have started storing them. The cord is rich in two types of cells that are hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal cells. A research was done recently in Tampa on the effectiveness of the mesenchymal cells. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The study showed that such type of cells can also be used in the treatment of lupus nephritis; it was found when these cells were transplanted into the systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE mouse models.
