What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are the "master" cells of our body that act as
building blocks to regenerate and turn into cells that form
tissues, organs and systems in the human body. Stem cells
are undifferentiated "blank" cells that do not yet have a
specif ic function. Characteristically, stem cells have a high
capacity for self-renewal. Stem cells have the unique
ability to dif ferentiate into a variety of cells to
serve as a repair system for the body and can
div ide wi thou t l imi t to rep lenish other ce ll s .
What is stem cell therapy?
Stem cell therapy is an amazing modern medical
advancement that goes straight to the source of the
problem. Stem cell therapy is a procedure by which
damaged, diseased, or malfunctioning cells anywhere in the
body are replaced by introducing healthy stem cells to that
area of the body. With stem cell therapy clinicians are now
able to facilitate a potential treatment for all kinds of
degenerative diseases because of the stem cell's
regenerative abilities.
What are the sources of stem cells?
Stem cells can be derived from various sources such as the
bone marrow, embryos obtained by in-vitro fertilization,
amniotic f luid, umbilical cord and menstrual blood.
Breakthrough medical research has now shown that the
umbilical cord and menstrual blood are amongst the richest
sources of stem cells and they have the potential to treat
many ailments through the process of stem cell therapy.

Stem cell banking is a unique procedure where the stem cells generated by the body are collected, processed and preserved
at sub-zero temperature for potential future use. Stem cell banking is a simple, safe and harmless procedure and involves no
invasive procedure for collecting these stem cells from the body. Two most popular sources from which stem cells are
collected are (a) umbilical cord of the baby which is discarded as a biological waste after the baby is born and (b) menstrual
blood of women which is shed during her monthly menstrual cycle. These preserved stem cells can be retrieved and used to
treat many critical ailments through the process of stem cell therapy.
What are the benef its of Stem Cells?
Stem cells are a breakthrough in modern regenerative medicine due to their huge potential and ability to generate cells and
tissues. Given the right environment, these stem cells can give rise to a number of tissues that constitute different organs.
Stem cells are a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues and have the potential to treat diseases such as
thalassemia, leukemia, blood disorders, Parkinson's & Alzheimer's, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes,
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and many other ailments in the future.

Preserving your baby's cord blood & cord tissue stem cells is a
health security blanket for your child and immediate family members too.
Your baby comes with its own
natural power to treat diseases
The umbilical cord connecting the baby witih the mother
supports and nourishes the baby for 9 months in the womb.
This cord is cut at the time of delivery and discarded as waste
after the baby is born. Breaktthrough medical research has
shown that the umbilical cord blood and cord tissue are one
of the richest source of stem cells and which have a high
potential to treat over 75 serious ailments and many more
critical ailments in the future through stem cell therapy.
Most importantly, the umbilical cord blood stem cells of your
baby apart from being a perfect match for your child also
carry the potential of 25% match for an existing or future
sibling thus protecting the entire family from future ailments.
The importance of umbilical cord blood & cord tissue
Umbilical cord blood is the remaining blood from your baby's
umbilical cord and placenta after birth. The cord tissue is the
tissue constituting the umbilical cord after removal of the
cord blood. Both umbilical cord blood and cord tissue are
loaded with stem cells which can be used with greater
eff iciency since they are the original cells and retrieving them
is non-invasive causing no harm to the mother or baby.
“I am impressed by the level of services offered to clients as well
as the customer service & value, LifeCell places on education,
research & support.”

Exciting new research on a new type of stem cell called
‘mesenchymal stem cell’ has now enhanced the scope of
diseases that can potentially be treated with stem cell
therapy.
Mesenchymal stem cells are now at the forefront of cellular
therapy especially for a variety of lifestyle diseases with
over 100 clinical trials under way to evaluate their safety
and eff icacy. In fact, some trials evaluating the utility
of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are now in late
phase III clinical trials and with the FDA according
‘fast-track’ approval status for the same, the benef its
of this therapy should soon reach out to everyone.
It has now been found that these remarkable mesenchymal
stem cells are also found in the connective tissue of the
umbilical cord. These stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue
can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for
potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future.
These umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are a perfect
match for your baby and being fetal in nature appear to be
better than similar mesenchymal stem cells from bone
marrow. These umbilical cord t issue s tem cells
have been shown to multiply rapidly and differentiate
into many other types of stem cells such as neural,
cardiac, bone, fat, car tilage and possibly others.
Hence preserving the cord tissue stem cells along with
cord blood stem cells offer a complete cover for the
child from a wide range of blood related and tissue
degenerative ailments.
The Value ofCord Tissue
Mesenchymal stem cells : Potential therapeutic applications
a) Cardiac Arrhythmia
b) Crohn's Disease
c) Graft vs Host Disease
d) Osteoarthritis
e) Critical Limb Ischemia
f) Multiple Sclerosis
g) Diabetes (Type 1)
h) Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

I was at the peak of my career when my body started sending quivering signals. I felt washed out and tired.
Thought the distressing signs were an overlap of stress. Thanks to my exciting work schedule, ignoring them was
a costly affair. Amidst work and travel to India I underwent a routine blood test and to my apathy, I was advised
a blood transfusion. I stopped travelling and on my return to Canada, life gives me a cold wind blow.
Thank you Stem Cells
I’m here because of you
I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma - a rare incurable
form of blood cancer.
I refused to embrace distress, decided to f ight the dreaded
disease for my life with simple rules as my companions to
combat cancer.
The disease hijacked my life for long enough and then I
decided to take matters into my own hands. I embraced
stem cell transplant as an ultimate treatment option.
Today I proudly stand as the true testimony of how stem
cell therapy could be a boon to someone who has lost all
hopes of recovery. I am ecstatic about the new lease of life.
I had my stem cell transplant done in January 2010
and it’s really been a kind of rebirth.
It’s like being reborn from the inside out. It's a big
cleaning from the middle of your marrow and
spreading out. It is not only about curing the body
of the disease, but also about identifying and healing the
entire person, as cancer drastically affects one’s psychology.
Today I’m back in my career as exciting and blissful
as before. I owe this to stem cells which made this happen
and gave me a chance for a second life.
Thank you stem cells I am here only because of you.

Processing
Once the sample reaches the lab, an array of tests are
conducted on the maternal blood, cord blood &
cord tissue. Depending on the outcome of the tests
the sample may be quarantined or rejected. After testing,
the cord blood & cord tissue are taken into a state-of-art
clean room wherein sk illed technicians process
the samples using utmost care adhering to international
quality standards such as those prescribed by the AABB
(American Association of Blood Banks) and CAP (College of
American Pathologists).
In brief the stem cells from cord blood are harvested using a
red cell depletion method aided by a chemical called
"Hespan" which helps to remove most of the red blood cells.
The cord tissue is washed, minced, put into tissue culture for
extracting a pure mesenchymal stem cell population.
Once the stem cells are extracted a cryoprotectant
(DMSO) is added to the prior to freezing. Freezing is
accomplished using a "controlled-rate freezer", which
gradually freezes the cord blood over an approximate
period of one hour.
SAMPLE COLLECTED IN BLOOD BAG
to depute a paramedic s taf f for the collection.
This collection process is simple, safe, painless and harmless to
both the child and the mother. This procedure can be performed
with either vaginal or cesarean section deliveries and the entire
process takes less than 10 minutes after the baby is born.
Upon completion of collection, the cord blood & cord tissue
samples are packed in the collection kit box as per the
instruction provided and safely dispatched through
designated special courier service from any part of GCC to
the preservation facility in India / USA as per your choice.
Suff icient care is taken to ensure that the sample
reaches the lab well ahead of the stipulated time.
UMBILICAL CORD COLLECTION KIT
The umbilical cord blood and cord tissue can be easily collected, processed and preserved through the innovative
concept of stem cell banking for future use. Umbilical cord blood & tissue preservation is a simple, painless procedure that
can take place after a vaginal or cesarean birth.
How does umbilical cord stem cell banking work?
After your baby is born, your obstetrician or paramedic staff
will collect the cord blood and the cord tissue. The entire
process takes less than 10 minutes and it is harmless to both
the mother and the baby.
Cord blood is collected from the umbilical cord
immediately after the baby's birth and is drawn into
the blood collection bag that comes in the kit.
The mother's blood will also be collected during this time
to be tested for certain infectious diseases as required
by regulations. The baby's cord blood and mother's blood
are then labeled and packaged in the kit box
provided. Once the umbilical cord blood is collected a
specif ied length of 10 to 25 cms of the umbilical cord is
cut and collected in the cord tissue collection containers.
Your obstetrician/gynaecologist or the hospital paramedical
staff can perform the collection. In case you require assistance
in the collection process you would have to inform us in
advance well before the expected date of delivery to enable us

It is believed that stem cells can be successfully stored
for decades together in a cryo-preserved form.
A recent study of cord blood at Indiana University
demonstrated its viability after 15 years of cryogenic
storage. Moreover our technology partners Cryo-Cell
International have s tored cord blood cells for
over 18 years. Until the child attains the legal age,
the parents, as the child's guardians have control over
the stem cells. Upon attaining the legal age the child
will possess the rights to his/her stem cells.
STEM CELL PRESERVATION CONTAINERS
DRY SHIPPER USED FOR TRANSPORTING STEM CELLS
Retrieval
If the stored cord blood stem cells are required for
transplant, the client can retrieve the sample by submitting
a retrieval request from the transplant physician.
Necessary HLA typing test is done for the recipient
for ensuring a perfect match. The cells are then transported
in a special container called "Dry Shipper" for shipping
the frozen sample to the stem cell transplant center. The dry
shipper is f illed with liquid nitrogen to maintain the cord
blood stem cells at less than minus 150°C during transport.
Thawing of the sample is performed under strict guidelines to
ensure the highest viability of stem cells recovery after the thaw.
You are not required to pay for the stem cells while
retrieving the stored sample since it belongs to your baby.
By preserving your baby's stem cells with LifeCell, your child and family can access to potential treatments for over 75 serious
ailments like leukemia (blood cancer), thalassemia, blood related disorders, heart ailments, diabetes, neurological
disorders, brain injury, juvenile diabetes and many other critical ailments in the future. These cells are highly proliferative in
nature and can develop into several types of stem cells and hence can offer potential treatment. The umbilical cord blood &
cord tissue banking is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for parents to collect and preserve the stem cells from their baby's
umbilical cord within 10 minutes of birth of the baby.
What is the benef it of preserving my baby's umbilical cord stem cells?
Storage
LifeCell uses special, compartmentalized cryo-bags to store
your baby's precious cord blood stem cells. The bag includes
a 20ml & 5ml portion, and three segments for testing.
The cord tissue stem cells are stored in 5ml cryo-vials, which
has an integrated segment for testing. The stem cell bags
and vials are overwrapped for added protection to avoid
cross-contamination. Then the bags and vials are housed in
protective cassettes and boxes and placed in liquid nitrogen
storage vessels for cryogenic preservation at minus 196°C.
Our storage conditions are closely monitored for
security and temperature. The facility is equipped with a
6000 Litre tank for maintaining continuous supply of liquid
nitrogen, and also has automatic kick-in of diesel
generators in case of power failure.
Stem Cell Banking
You can now opt to preserve your baby’s umbilical cord
blood stem cells either in India or US depending upon your
convenience and residential location. LifeCell presents this
exclusive opportunity to preserve your baby’s umbilical cord
blood stem cells with Cryo-Cell International, USA - the
world’s f irst stem cell bank with over 20 years of industry
expertise.
It is believed that stem cells can be successfully stored
for decades together in a cryo-preserved form.
A recent study of cord blood at Indiana University
demonstrated its viability after 15 years of cryogenic
storage. Moreover our technology partners Cryo-Cell
International have s tored cord blood cells for
over 18 years. Until the child attains the legal age,
the parents, as the child's guardians have control over
the stem cells. Upon attaining the legal age the child
will possess the rights to his/her stem cells.
STEM CELL PRESERVATION CONTAINERS
DRY SHIPPER USED FOR TRANSPORTING STEM CELLS
Retrieval
If the stored cord blood stem cells are required for
transplant, the client can retrieve the sample by submitting
a retrieval request from the transplant physician.
Necessary HLA typing test is done for the recipient
for ensuring a perfect match. The cells are then transported
in a special container called "Dry Shipper" for shipping
the frozen sample to the stem cell transplant center. The dry
shipper is f illed with liquid nitrogen to maintain the cord
blood stem cells at less than minus 150°C during transport.
Thawing of the sample is performed under strict guidelines to
ensure the highest viability of stem cells recovery after the thaw.
You are not required to pay for the stem cells while
retrieving the stored sample since it belongs to your baby.
By preserving your baby's stem cells with LifeCell, your child and family can access to potential treatments for over 75 serious
ailments like leukemia (blood cancer), thalassemia, blood related disorders, heart ailments, diabetes, neurological
disorders, brain injury, juvenile diabetes and many other critical ailments in the future. These cells are highly proliferative in
nature and can develop into several types of stem cells and hence can offer potential treatment. The umbilical cord blood &
cord tissue banking is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for parents to collect and preserve the stem cells from their baby's
umbilical cord within 10 minutes of birth of the baby.

Umbilical cord stem cell banking is an essential aspect for every child since every parent holds the
responsibility of securing their child's health for the future. I have benef itted by getting myself
completely cured by this revolutionary concept of umbilical cord blood stem cell
banking and I insist that every parent should consider in the future interest of
their child.
Mr.Vigneshwaran, Cord Blood stem cell transplant benef iciary
Stem Cell Success Story
The f irst successful cord blood stem cell transplant was
performed in 1988 in Paris, France. To date, more than 25,000
cord blood stem cell transplants have been performed
worldwide. Stem cell therapy using umbilical cord blood has
gained signif icant importance. It has been proved that stem
cell therapy is probably the only treatment available for
diseases like leukemia (blood cancer), thalassemia, cerebral
palsy, juvenile diabetes etc., and with advancing research and
clinical trials conducted worldwide the proof of treating more
diseases using cord blood stem cells is increasing every day.
We at LifeCell take pride in being a part of the surviving
story of Thamirabharani, the eight-year old girl who fought
her way for life through stem cell therapy. It gives us
extreme satisfaction and delight for securing and saving
the life of Thamirabharani by preserving her brother's
umbilical cord blood stem cells with us, a crucial decision
their parents took, which had ultimately saved her life.
