| What
is babycells?
babycells®
is a registered trademark of Cells Limited for it's Umbilical
Cord Stem Cells storage services.
The
best possible gift for your newborn
Stem Cells are the building blocks of
human cells and can form any part of our biological existence
from muscles, bones, nerves, blood system and organs. These
cells are rare in adult humans but the richest source being
the umbilical cord or placenta.
The
cure of many life threatening diseases is dependant on the
transplantation of stem cells, of which there are few sources
and if there are any available there may be a high risk of
rejection linked to that sort of transplant. But having the
peace of mind that your child has his/her stem cells stored
is a gift in it self.
At
every birth these stem cells are wasted, without realising
how valuable they can be, and that is what babycells is all
about. We provide you with an opportunity to store your newborns'
stem cells, and make sure that they are available to you if
the need be.
