Covid-19 patients are treated with stem cells
The Corona virus enters the host cell by binding to a receptor on the cells in the blood vessels. The body then responds as soon as the immune system recognizes that there are invaders and sends a number of different cell types and antibodies to try to destroy the virus. The result is a battlefield in every organ affected by the virus, between our immune system and the virus. In the case of COVID-19, the intensity of the battle can trigger a devastating immune reaction.
Why you should consider storage from cord blood
After the birth, the umbilical cord contains the same powerful stem cells that help your baby develop organs, blood, tissue, and an immune system during pregnancy.
Why you should consider cord tissue storage
It’s important to note that umbilical cord blood and cord tissue are rich in two distinct types of stem cells. Both types of stem cells play key roles in regenerative medicine, and each works in its own way.
Umbilical cord stem cells can be used to treat more than 80 diseases
Stem cells can be found in abundance in places like bone marrow and fat tissue throughout our lives, but even stem cells age with our body. The youngest, more flexible stem cells in the body come from a newborn’s umbilical cord blood and tissue.
Two choices: Mine or your stem cells
The choice of stem cell source and donor always depends on available options and the disease to be treated. Therefore, it is Cellaviva's recommendation to secure stem cells from both...
Can stem cells treat type 1 diabetes? Are stem cell transplants performed today? We keep you updated on news, as well as the latest developments in stem cell research. Our goal is for everyone in Sweden to be informed about the possibility of saving stem cells from the umbilical cord at birth. Our articles therefore focus on how this can be a unique investment for the future.
Focusing on stem cell research
Nextcell Pharma, a part of Cellaviva, researches daily to develop new cell therapies. We therefore share our own articles, news and articles on research from the rest of the world on stem cell treatment.
