Collection of the placental cord blood: a new medical oppotunity without ethical concerns.

Collecting placental cord blood is an easy but extremely important procedure. A simple task such as saving the umbilical cord blood can save the life of your newborn child in the future. The stem cells present in the placental cord blood are used today in human therapy to potentially cure a lot of deadly or invalidating diseases.

SSCB, Swiss Swiss Stem Cells Bank, with its new and technologically advanced services gives the chance of collecting placental cord blood and store it for future use. Thanks to SSCB's partnership with the Molecular diagnostics laboratory and the Cardiocentro Ticino in Lugano, saving the umbilical cord blood is as easy as collecting it: the cord blood samples collected after the delivery are analysed and the "White blood cells" that contain the stem cells separated. The stem cells are then stored and preserved by cryoconservation.

SSCB invests in the most advanced technologies and supports the research regarding both the preservation methods for stem cells and their potential use. Due to this kind of research, collecting placental cord blood is today one of the best chances to cure potentially deadly diseases that can affect the newborn in the future. Saving the umbilical cord blood allows the preservation of stem cells that can be used to cure diseases such as leukaemia and lymphomas, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases or spinal cord injuries. Presumably, collecting placental cord blood and preserving the stem cells of the newborn will give the chance to cure other kinds of disease.

Taking advantage of the SSCB's services is a serious and precious investment for the future of your newborn child.
