Placental blood collection helps preserve 20-50% more valuable haematopoietic stem cells compared to the standard procedure, where only cord blood is collected.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cord tissue stem cells<\/h3>\n\n<p>Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are characterised by their ability to differentiate into nerve, bone, cartilage and other types of cells. These cells hold particular promise in the field of regenerative medicine.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential of stem cell therapies<\/h2>\n\n<p>Currently, standardised stem cell therapy is used to treat over 80 diseases:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Various types of leukaemia and lymphoma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Myelodysplastic syndromes and multiple myeloma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inherited metabolic disorders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain types of tumours and anaemia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Areas of regenerative medicine and conditions where treatment with cord cells is currently in the clinical trial phase, showing promising results:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cerebral palsy and neurological conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type 1 and type 2 diabetes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Autoimmune and cardiac conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tissue and organ repair after trauma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Autism and acquired hearing loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe and straightforward collection process<\/h2>\n\n<p>Stem cell collection is a completely safe procedure carried out after birth.
