Provia laboratories involved in stem cells extraction from tooth other than cord blood stem cells


A Provia laboratory LLC is a modern bio-banking organization that is soon going to become high tech with more and more innovative practices. Located in Lexington, the company professionals give promise to discover a regenerative medicine. This medicine will be used effectively for the treatment of those who are physically handicapped or have some damaged organ. With the help of drugs one day it will be possible to grow a lost appendage or some damaged body organ simply by the exchange of one tooth. It is because the company is engaged into harvesting stem cells from the baby teeth rather than extracting cord blood stem cells.

Later on, it will be possible for the owner to access the stem cells in future when they would be in need to regenerate a limb. The business model of the company exactly matches the strategies of other companies which are actively involved in the collection of cord blood during the birth of new born. According to Howard Green man, the Chief Executive, the average cord blood banking cost is approximately fifteen hundred dollars directly making annual payments of one hundred and fifty dollars in other companies. While costs charged in Provia would be about six hundred and forty nine dollars direct and thus annual charges of one hundred and twenty dollars.

This medicine with the regenerative capacity basically allows for the collection and also the storage of stem cells of an individual. It is another fact that these medicines would only be used by those persons who are either family members or blood relatives. The reason behind this it is necessary that there should be a genetic match between cells and recipient. if the matching between donor and acceptor would be perfect then there would be no chance for the new appendage or any organ to get rejected. The logic behind this is the new limb has been originated in fact from the DNA of the person himself.

Nowadays, the concept of regenerative medicine is completely new. stem cells obtained from different parts of the body such as umbilical cord blood collection grow into different cells and are fully effective to cure several diseases. Similarly the stem cells extracted from the tooth can be used to grow bones in the jaw. Moreover, they can also be used to grow some cells similar to pancreas which would be able to develop insulin. Researchers from all around the world are confident that in a very short time it would be possible to obtain stem cells from other parts of the body. These cells will then be used for the treatment of large segment of population in the whole universe to generate appendages and damaged organs.

The company has already its dealing in America, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Ecuador. Greenman said that the organization named Cordon de Vida will be doing teeth collection and transportation for Provia. Provia will be then involved in stem cell harvesting and their storage. This issue is catching high interest of the scientists and people even outside America. Provia Laboratories is thus proving to be a tooth angel of the modern world because of its wonderful contribution.

Umbilical cord blood banking bill is considered by health officials


The moment the benefits of umbilical cord blood were recognized, it became a priority for health experts to educate pregnant women and their family about these. Senate Appropriations Committee has also taken a significant step in this direction. The committee has recently approved to spend money so as to educate expectant ladies about the need of donating umbilical cord blood. From the allocated sum, brochures will be developed. This brochure will contain information about importance of donation and benefits of umbilical cord storage. Further it will also tell about uses and cost structure. 

Stem cells are taken from umbilical cord that is a pipe attached from mother to the baby. The cord blood holds numerous benefits due to presence of large number of stem cells. These cells are used by doctors to treat several disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndromes these days. It is because; the cells taken from umbilical cord blood banking develop into different types of cells and also blood cells.  These stem cells can be transplanted into the person to fight against several diseases. It does not require matching between a donor and recipient. 

The cord blood cells have the capacity to cure around eighty-five diseases. It is just like insurance for the whole family. The parents are encouraged for umbilical cord stem cell storage. It would be useful if their child suffers from any disease later on. However, the issue of major concern is parents do not possess any idea about the need of cord blood preservation. It becomes further important as the need of stem cells extracted from cord blood is growing with their stock depleting day by day. 

This step will definitely prove to be a building block for several new discoveries related to medical field. Doctors are anticipating that one day every woman will understand this concept and the need of storage of umbilical cord. The cost of storing stem cells in a cord blood bank is around twenty-five hundred dollars. Every family needs to get full and reliable information about the whole process before the birth of the baby. The umbilical bill will make sure the mission is getting accomplished. It is the objective of the bill to educate more and more number of people. It must be done by the health professionals only as they possess better knowledge and are able to provide good advice.

How cell transplants can successfully treat leukemia using cord blood


In a recent research study it has been found out that cell transplants can be even more successful to treat acute leukemia using umbilical cord blood. According to cell transplant experts, umbilical cord blood can create wonders in treating several contagious diseases and other health disorders. This cord blood however contains very limited blood stem cells, which may result for many patients to experience complications post surgery. In fact, sometimes it may be fatal and even cause death of the patient. However, research is going on in full swing to improve and develop a procedure of cell transplantation and find a way to produce cord blood stem cells in laboratory.   

In the procedure of cell transplants, the patients are injected blood forming stem cells from other donors. These stem cells which are injected in the patient are anticipated to form both white and red blood cells and platelets. However, it is not always possible to find a suitable donor, and therefore cord blood stem cell banking is a major source for acquiring blood stem cells when required. Most of these cell transplants contain a small amount of stem cells. The process of blood cell formation is extremely slow and the patient is often susceptive to complications like infections which can result in the treatment to get delayed or be unsuccessful altogether. 

According to medical experts, research study is focused on developing a new method that can help to increase the volume of stem cells that are required for transplants. In the research, cultured stem cells will be tested on unique blood cell formation methods. The medical team will conduct such blood cell transplants on patients by using cord blood cells which have been produced in the laboratory. The next phase of the study is aimed at monitoring the stem cells inside the patients’ body to determine the success of the treatment. This will help medical team to visualize whether such cell transplants or treatment would be effective. It would also help them to find out whether these stem cells would actually develop inside the bone marrow or not. 

The project is being financed by leading institutes in the field of medical science. According to the medical team, this research study would bring together both national and international associations from private and public sectors, as well as many health insurance providers. Stem cell therapy can provide hope and help to millions of patients who are affected with neurological diseases and nerve disorders. Cord blood stem cell storage would therefore help patients suffering from diseases such as Parkinson’s, ALS, spinal or brain injuries and several other nerve disorders using stem cell transplants.

Impossible turns to possible with cord blood stem cells

The blood that stays in the cord was generally thrown away at the time of birth. Recent researches have shown that the blood in the cord is rich in stem cells. The cell that is found in all multi cellular organisms is called stem cells. These stem cells are of two kinds, they are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The specialty of the stem cells is that it renews the white blood cells. It renews itself as it has the capability to undergo numerous cycles of cell division. While going through the process of cell division it maintains its undifferentiated state. The stem cells give rise to different cell type. Hence, it is advisable to store the cord blood for future use. Just like bone marrow cord blood is also a vital source of stem cells. This Cord Blood Stem Cell can be used for various diseases. The stem cells are the master cells of the body. They are termed as master cells as it acts like the building blocks of the body. The Cord Blood Stem Cells help in tissues, bloods, immune system and many more. Earlier stem cells from the bone marrow were used for oncological treatments. In the recent years, Cord Blood Stem Cell was proved fatal in curing millions of lives.

The collection of Cord Blood Stem Cell is simple, safe and painless. The risk of the same is also less. Within ten minutes from the birth, the blood in the umbilical cord is collected. Once the blood is collected, it is tested. Once the test prove that, everything is fine, several chemical are used to preserve the blood. The temperature at which the cord blood is kept is very vital. The cord blood may be used for the donor or the relatives of the donor. In this case the blood is kept in a private bank. If someone wishes to donate the cord blood then the blood is kept in the public bank. This Cord Blood Stem Cell can save lives affected with Parkinson’s diseases, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s diseases, Cancer, Spinal Cord injury, diabetes and many more. The Cord Blood Stem Cell has the capability to repair and replace damaged tissues, which includes vascular endothelial cells, which forms the inner lining of the blood vessels. There are three types of stem cells; they are Hematopoietic stem cells, Mesenchymal stem cells and Endothelial stem cells. The main area where the stem cells help mankind is its power to renew blood cells. Fatal diseases like bone marrow where the capability to regenerate the blood cells are lost, there the stem cells play a significant role. The blood containing high percentage of stem cell is rich in white blood cells and thus it helps in bone marrow transplantation.

Few ethical groups have raised controversies in using the Cord Blood Stem Cell. The controversies are because as per them it involves destruction of human embryo. Besides all debates and controversies, Cord Blood Stem Cell was proved to change the face of human science.

A Story of recovery

I am a proud father of my son Dustin. I know you people are eager to hear my story but let me tell you one interesting thing about Cryo Cell. It is a great ace for the people who want to acquire complete peace of mind regarding their children. I was completely dodged when doctor told me that your son may suffer from thalassemia. I didn’t had any idea about what to do and what not to. Then my friend told me about Cryo Cell and I immediately rushed there by taking an appointment with a doctor. The doctor explained me about the entire process and I then asked the cord blood cost. You cannot imagine the peace of mind which I got after talking with a doctor. The doctor told me that they could treat this disease if the younger brother or sister of the child who is suffering is born. Actually they wanted to take some blood from the umbilical cord of the new born. I don’t know anything about the entire concept but one thing that I know is that they use stem cells in order to cure several kinds of diseases. The doctor told me that they can cure over 70 diseases by using the blood from umbilical cord. The cord blood cells can be extracted at the time of delivery which will be preserved for further use. It seems to be a very complicated process but doctors available at Cryo Cell are so supportive and polite that my wife even didn’t notice any kind of pain during the process. After delivery, the doctors preserve the sample in their cord blood bank which is also available at Cryo Cell. I knew that I can find something effective in America but I had no idea that I can find this health centre so easily. The Cryo Cell has changed our life by giving a new life to my son.
During the second delivery of my wife, I got another son who came into our life just like a miracle. We thank God for his wonderful gift. We also thank Cryo Cell and staff members of the place. In this health center, cord blood transplantation is also possible and it is our suggestion that every couple should use the cord blood bank in order to acquire complete peace of mind. Basically, there are two kinds of banks, private and public. The cord bank available at Cryo Cell can be used by you any time and it is in fact your own personal property. You can also compare cord blood banks available in Cryo Cell and others. Now, we have more happy life and both our sons are living cheerful life and so we are.

Umbilical cord blood donation is a boon for us

As soon as I heard about benefits of preserving cord blood of a child, I decided to go for umbilical cord blood donation. According to doctors, the cord blood of babies is rich in stem cells which can be used for curing almost 75 different types of ailments.

Seeking to this, me and my wife decided to go for umbilical cord blood donation of our child only at Cyro cell. Stem cells are used for forming white blood cells which can be used for curing ailments such as leukemia, lymphoma, and severe anemia and combined malfunctioning. Only Cyro cell has given me enough faith to donate my child’s cord blood so that he can live a healthy life always.

I just want to say thanks and wish that every parent is able to do so in order to provide their child a promise of healthy life.

In another incident, when our four year old child, Jamie, was detected with a life taking ailment lymphoma, I and my wife faced host of challenges. We thought this is it and now it is impossible to save our only son. Our doctor however told us about umbilical cord stem cells treatment process which is the only way to save the child.

For this, cord blood cells from a new born baby of same parents are taken as they are rich in umbilical cord stem cells. These cells help in forming white blood cells which help in making the immune system of a child much stronger. He also told us bout Cyro cell center which preserves this umbilical cord stem cells so as to be used in future, if required.

Only because of Cyro cell we are now able to have two healthy kids.

My friend also shares his experience as follows:

When I gave birth to two prettiest twin girls in November, the first thing I decide to do was cord blood donation. I was however a little confused about cord blood banking cost for this regimen. Cyro cell provided me entire help regarding this process and helped me out to look for the most suited bank type.

There are both public and private banks which have different cord blood banking cost and services. Cyro cell informs parents all about these two types and what extra services and benefits they can attain with it. It also tells about cord blood banking cost schemes which makes it really easy for parents to have it done for their children.

Thanks to Cyro cell for all its help and cost effective services.
