Accessing your stem cells
After birth, you have access to a portal where you can view your stem cell certificate and contact us in the case you ever want to retrieve your stem cells.
You would need to have a physician ready to receive the stem cells for treatment (generally for a FDA-approved or clinical trial use case). We can get the stem cells to your designated physician shortly after you contact us.
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are our body’s raw materials from which all other tissues and organs are generated. They are our body's master cells.
Stem cells have the potential to repair, restore, replace, and regenerate cells, and have the potential to be used to treat many medical conditions and diseases. Stem cells are immature cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types, from muscle cells to brain cells. They are the only type of cell in the body that has the natural ability to generate new cell types.
At your birth, we collect and store Multipotent stem cells from the cord blood, cord tissue, and the placenta. Multipotent stem cells can develop into any cell type within a family of tissues.
