Stem cell transplants have already proved to be effective, lifesaving treatments for a wide range of diseases. And the list of treatable diseases continues to grow. Each year, 45,000 to 50,000 stem cell transplants are performed worldwide.
Stem cells are the building blocks of blood and the immune system. Of particular importance are CD34+ stem cells. CD34+ cells, the stem cells that matter most for treatment success and patient survival, are blood-forming cells, which are found in 2 sources that help sustain a baby's life during pregnancy: the placenta and the cord blood. CD34+ stem cells can transform into other cell types, including: red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (immune cells that fight infections), and platelets (which clot blood and prevent hemorrhaging).
LifebankUSA® is the only cord blood bank registered with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) that enables parents to collect stem cells from both the placenta and the cord blood. Banking stem cells from both of these sources allows you to store more potentially lifesaving cells than you can with any other cord blood bank. And because the placenta is a richer source of CD34+ stem cells than cord blood, you can store more of the stem cells that are most important for treatment success and patient survival.
" For couples who want to bank the most stem cells possible, LifebankUSA offers the one and only placenta-derived stem cell banking service. Combining these cells with those found in cord blood yields more stem cells and may offer a lifesaving treatment option. I recommend that anyone who is going to bank cord blood also bank placenta-derived stem cells. It does make a difference.”

"In a recent LifebankUSA newsletter, I read about a boy with leukemia who had been saved thanks to LifebankUSA. This, along with a member of my family having died of leukemia, brought home just how important it is to bank stem cells and made me feel thankful that I had the opportunity to store my children's stem cells."
