Swiss Stem Cells Bank: an investment for the future without ethical concerns.

Stem cells are cells that can be potentially used to repair damaged organs and tissues. There are two types of stem cells:

- embryonic stem cells

- adult stem cells

Embryonic stem cells can be found in embryos that are about a week old. The research concerning embryonic stem cells is still at an early stage and it is not possible at the moment to fully and safely use them to cure damaged organs and tissues. Moreover, many ethical concerns arise from the use of embryonic stem cells regarding, in particular, the embryo from which they are taken. Embryonic stem cells can be substituted by adult stem cells that can be found in some of our organs and tissues or, in great number, in umbilical cord blood. These stem cells, being autologous stem cells, are able to cure the life of the newborn from whom they have been taken.

SSCB, Swiss Stem Cells Bank, is a stem cells bank that offers a new and innovative banking service for stem cells entirely and exclusively in the Swiss territory. The stem cell cryoconservation at SSCB allows the storage of these autologus stem cells, instead of embryonic stem cells, for future use. The stem cells are an exclusive property of the customer and can be used at any time with no extra cost.

Thanks to the partnership with the Molecular diagnostics laboratory and the Cardiocentro Ticino in Lugano, SSCB can offer the most advanced technologies and a highly efficient staff in order to keep the storage of stem cells at the best conditions.
