Cord Blood Cells and Brain Damage

A Duke University clinical trial has led to great news in the treatment of brain damage – with cord blood cells. Take a look at this video from CBS Evening News about a couple who stored their child’s cord blood at birth, and are now using it to treat the brain damage the child suffered during birth. Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg, Blood and Marrow Transplantation Director at Duke, reported that some children who have undergone cord blood re-infusion for brain injury are developing more skills than they otherwise would have.

Cord Blood 101

You may be hearing more and more about cord blood banking. What is it? Why is it important?

 

Cord blood is the blood from a baby’s umbilical cord, which includes stem cells. New usages for stem cells are being discovered every day – the most important is the fact that these cells are being successfully used to treat a vast number of diseases, including cancer, blood disorders, metabolic disorders and osteoporosis.

 

If you store your baby’s cord blood, it has no expiration date – and could be incredibly valuable in years to come if your child or someone in your family develops any such diseases. The cost to collect and store the cord blood runs between $1500 and $2000, a small price to pay for the potential to save or prolong a life in the decades to come. You can store the cord blood for your own family’s use, or store it publically for other families to use. More than 6,000 people a day are seeking a cord blood transplant.
