Celebrities Banking Cord Blood
Cord blood banking is becoming increasingly popular for expecting parents. Providing them with the peace of mind that their child will be safe should they ever fall, cord blood banking is seen as a unique form of insurance.
Many celebrity parents are now investing in cord blood banking, as word has spread about its potential benefits. Celebrities certainly spare no expense when it comes to their children, so it is no wondering that so many famous parents-to-be have been spotted with cord blood kits.
The Importance Of Investing In Cord Blood Research
Cord blood transplants are ground-breaking procedures that help to save and change the lives of thousands of patients around the world who are suffering from a wide range of blood diseases. While the technology has been around for over a decade, there is still much that researchers do not know about the benefits of cord blood banking.
Cord Blood Laws
Cord blood banking is an extremely useful procedure that can help to save the lives of those suffering from a wide range of diseases. However, very few parents are aware of the benefits of banking their children’s cord blood.
Expanding Applications of Cord Blood
Currently, cord blood is used to treat over 70 different blood diseases and bone marrow disorders. Hundreds of patients around the world benefit from cord blood transplants every year, but researchers are determined to increase these numbers.
In order to benefit a wider range of patients, researchers want to expand the uses of cord blood technology. Potential new uses include treating brain injuries, diabetes and even degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Cord Blood Banking Payment Plans
Getting ready for the birth of your baby can be an expensive endeavor. Many parents are weary about adding more expenses to the process, but we believe that banking your child’s cord blood is a worthwhile investment. As such, Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program has created several payment plans to make banking your newborn’s cord blood more affordable.
Our first package gives parents the chance to pay monthy. After paying the intial fee, parents are only required to $125 per month for the storage of their child’s cord blood.
Ensuring High-Quality Cord Blood Collection
At Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program, we strive to ensure that we use high-quality processes to collect our donor’s cord blood. This not only guarantees a quick and easy procedure but also a high volume of stem cell collection.
We use the bag method, which allows the cord blood to flow naturally through the needle, from the umbilical cord into our collection materials. This method guarantees that a high volume of cord blood is collected, so that more stem cells can be extracted from it in our laboratory.

Popular health resources Hospital News recently interviewed Insception Lifebank’s own Dr. Ian Rogers. Founder of the Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program, Dr. Rogers is dedicated to cord blood technology and stem cell researcher. He is currently researching a procedure that would use cord blood stem cells to treat Type 1 diabetes.
Diabetes destroys cells that produce insulin. Unless treated with regular injections, Type 1 diabetes can be fatal. It can also have negative effects on the eyes, kidneys, heart and nervous system.

Role of iPS Cells
The development of new therapies to treat different diseases always goes through stages of promise and problems.
There are generally high expectations as the first bits of data appear. These studies are usually followed by new studies that have built upon the initial ones, and start to reveal the limitations of the therapy.
Cord Blood Stem Cells and Brain Injury
There are some very promising studies showing that umbilical cord blood has the ability to reverse brain damage. The exact mechanism is not known and that is why important research on umbilical cord blood stem cells and brain injury is going on at a number of different centers.
Related Vs. Un-Related Cord Blood Donor Selection
The key is identifying a donor quickly and a related sample is preferred.
Matching a donor to a patient in cases of bone marrow transplantation is a complex process that is dependent on many factors, including the disease being treated and the stage of the disease. Increased survival rates have been correlated with early treatments. Therefore it is VERY important to identify a donor quickly.
