The Importance of Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Transplant

The Importance of Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell
Transplant

• Cord blood stem cell transplants have
  successfully treated many diseases and
  debilitating conditions. Stem cells harvested
  from umbilical cord blood of a newborn baby can
  develop into any type of organ or tissue such as
  liver, heart and neural cells. They can also
  repair tissue and organs damaged in strokes and
  heart attacks.
• Umbilical cord blood stem cells and adult
  leukemia
• Umbilical cord blood stem cells are commonly used
  to treat childhood leukemia for many years.
  However, only in recent years those adults with
  leukemia have been successfully treated with
  transplantation of cord blood stem cells from
  unrelated donors. One case is that of Stephen
  Sprague who was diagnosed with Chronic
  Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) in 1995. Chemotherapy
  only kept the cancer under control for 17 months.
  In April 1997, he was in the final stage of the
  disease. He took part in a clinical trial to
  determine if adequate amount of Umbilical cord
  blood stem cell therapy could be harvested for a
  successful transplantation to an adult. In
  November 1997, he underwent a cord blood stem
  cell transplant and has been cancer free for over
  9 years.

  injuries

• Umbilical cord blood stem cells and spinal cord
  injuries
• In Korea, a team of researchers claimed to have
  successfully transplanted umbilical cord blood
  stem cells into the spine of a 37-year old woman.
  The patient had been paralyzed for 19 years due
  to an accident. Doctors injected the stem cells
  directly into the damaged portion of her spine.
  Within only three weeks, she began walking
  assisted with a walker, and today she walks well
  without aid.
• Umbilical cord blood stem cells and Krabbe
  disease
• Great promise has been shown in the treatment of
  Krabbe Disease and other rare lysomal storage
  diseases through the transplantation of cord
  blood stem cells. Krabbe disease occurs in
  infants, and if left untreated is usually fatal
  within 2 years. Researchers from Duke University
  and the University of North Carolina at Chapel
  Hill have made ground breaking progress in the
  treatment of this disease. Their research shows
  that newborns who receive umbilical cord blood
  stem cell transplants while they are still
  asymptomatic have a much higher chance of
  survival than children who have already shown
  symptoms.

• Umbilical cord blood stem cells and Lymph
  proliferative disease
• Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant has
  been proven to treat Lymph proliferative disease.
  This illness is a rare condition that affects the
  immune system and makes the patient unable to
  fight off common germs.
