The umbilical cord
blood is the blood that is in the
umbilical cord and placenta after the birth of a child. When the umbilical cord
is held and severed, it comes out with about two ounces of blood. Doctors
collect this blood with a surgical needle. These blood cells are full of adult
stem cells that make up our immune system and blood. These are collected,
processed and stored for use in clinical trials.
On the other hand, the umbilical cord tissue is the
cheerful-looking material found around the umbilical vessels of the newborn.
After the umbilical cord has been retained and severed, a portion of the cord
is stored to collect these tissues. These tissues contain thousands of
different types of stem cells and saving
umbilical cord tissue offers the ability to form cartilage, circulatory
tissue, skin, bones, the nervous system, and
the sensory organs.
Now the first question, what are the benefits of stem cells
derived from umbilical cord tissue on the umbilical cord blood?
They are young:
The stem cells collected from the cord tissue are young and, once processed and
preserved, can also resist aging. Not only can they create other types of new
cells, but they can also be one of many
types of cells. These are the properties that slow down your aging process. Also, the lack of age of these cells may also
result in a lower risk of immune response compared to older cells where the likelihood
of chronic complications is high.
They are easy to
collect: The collection of umbilical cord blood is simple and does not pose
a risk to both mother and child. After the baby is born, the doctors and the
umbilical cord cut carefully and then remove the blood from the umbilical cord.
In this way, they take a small portion for saving umbilical cord and processing to maintain the cells.
They are more
numerous: A study reveals that stem cells found in umbilical cord tissue
are much higher than umbilical cord blood and other sources. Some observations
have also shown that the number of cells in the tissue of the cord is 3 to 14
times higher. It increases the ability to collect more cells.
